Match Facts
Bayer Leverkusen and PSV have met twice previously in European competition, with both coming in the first round of the 1994-95 UEFA Cup. After a 5-4 home win for Leverkusen in the first leg, the second leg in the Netherlands ended 0-0.
Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in their seven meetings with Dutch sides in European competition (W4 D3), with the most recent coming in the UEFA Champions League last season, in a 4-0 win over Feyenoord in the league phase (September 2024).
PSV will be looking for their first win away to a German side in European competition since December 1977 (2-1 v Eintracht Braunschweig in the UEFA Cup). Since that victory, they are winless in 17 such trips, suffering defeats in 14 of those (D3).
PSV were beaten by Union Saint-Gilloise in this season’s UEFA Champions League opener (1-3), while they haven’t lost consecutive matches in the group/league phase of the competition since November 2018 (v Tottenham and Barcelona).
Bayer Leverkusen have only lost two of their last 11 matches in the group/league phase of the UEFA Champions League (W5 D4), including coming back from behind on two occasions to avoid defeat at Copenhagen on MD1 of the current campaign (2-2).
Among teams with 15+ UEFA Champions League games played since the start of the 2023-24 season, only RB Leipzig (0 in 16 matches) have kept a clean sheet in a lower percentage of their outings than PSV (10% - two clean sheets in 21).
PSV only scored once in their MD1 defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise, despite amassing 2.5 expected goals in the match (-1.5). Only Slavia Prague (-1.98) and Real Madrid (-1.7) had a worse negative differential against their xG in a UEFA Champions League game in the opening round this season.
In his last UEFA Champions League game versus Copenhagen, Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Aleix García completed 100% of his passes made while under high-intensity pressure (26/26). The only players with a 100% completion rate with more passes on MD1 this season were Frenkie de Jong (38/38) and Fabian Ruíz (31/31).
Joey Veerman completed 62 passes, made 14 line-breaking passes, and won possession nine times in his previous UEFA Champions League outing versus Union Saint-Gillloise; all of which were the most by any PSV player in the game.
Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba made 21 line-breaking passes in his previous UEFA Champions League outing (v Copenhagen on MD1); the most by any player in a match on MD1 of the current campaign. 11 of those were for teammate Alejandro Grimaldo, which was also the most by one player to a teammate.
