Bayer Leverkusen will look to arrest their sliding form as they host Koln, who are looking to stop their own falling form, on matchday 14 of the 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign. This match on Saturday at BayArena between the fourth-placed ‘Die Werkself’ and the eighth-placed ‘Billy Goats’ comes with our prediction of a home win and BTTS.
Leverkusen’s 23 points (W7, D2, L4) see them start this round five points behind second, while being just ahead of fifth on goal difference. Koln’s 16 points (W4, D4, L5) see them five points behind seventh, while being level on points with three more teams below.
Leverkusen drew 2-2 at home against Newcastle this week, making it just one win from their last four competitive games (D1, L2). Both those defeats came in the league, where they lost 2-0 at Augsburg last weekend and 2-1 at home to Dortmund a week before.
That loss to Dortmund also ended a five-game run at this venue where they won four and drew one.
Koln drew 1-1 at home to St Pauli last weekend to make it four games without a win (D2, L2). In fact, with just one win in their last eight competitive matches (D3, L4), Koln are in need of inspiration.
Even on the road, Koln have one draw and two defeats in their last three league trips.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Köln Prediction
With just one win in their last four competitive matches, Leverkusen need a win in this contest more than anything else. They have lost two games in a row in the league, which saw them lose control of being the title challenger for the time being. Koln are equally poor, with just one win from their last seven league fixtures, including two defeats from their four recent games in that run.
Koln’s recent away run could play to Leverkusen’s strengths, and our Bayer Leverkusen vs Koln prediction is Bayer Leverkusen wins and BTTS.
