Match Analysis

Expert analysis and insights for this fixture

Updated Friday, November 21, 2025 (2 days ago)

Match Preview
Manchester City host Bayer Leverkusen in a UEFA Champions League group clash on 25 November 2025.

Both clubs arrive on the back of strong domestic runs – City have won four of their last five league outings, scoring 13 goals while conceding just four, and Leverkusen have mirrored that form with four wins, 13 goals scored and five conceded across their recent fixtures.

The English side have been prolific at the Etihad, averaging 2.6 goals per game and keeping opponents to less than one goal on average.

Leverkusen, despite playing most of their recent games on German soil, also boast a 2.6‑goal per game output but are slightly more porous, allowing an average of one goal per match.

No head‑to‑head record exists between the two, making the encounter a fresh tactical test.

The result will shape the group dynamics, with City seeking to cement their dominance and Leverkusen hoping to prove they can translate Bundesliga firepower onto the European stage.

Recent Form
Manchester City:
Manchester City’s recent five‑match stretch highlights a dominant home‑centric rhythm.

On 9 November they thrashed Liverpool 3‑0 at the Etihad, with Erling Haaland striking twice (29', 63') and Nathan Gonzalez adding a 45' half‑time goal.

Four days earlier, City produced a 4‑1 victory over Dortmund in the Champions League, featuring two goals from Phil Foden (22', 57') and a Haaland double (29'), while Julian Anton and Romain Cherki added late scores.

On 2 November City beat Bournemouth 3‑1, Haaland’s brace (17', 33') and a T.

Adams equaliser (25') followed by N.

O’Reilly’s consolation.

The only blemish came on 29 October away at Swansea, a 1‑3 loss despite a J.

Doku equaliser (39'), and a 1‑0 win at Aston Villa on 26 October sealed with M.

Cash’s 19' header.

Across these games City have amassed 13 goals, conceded four, and maintain an average of 2.6 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per match, underscoring a high‑tempo attack backed by a resilient defence.
Leverkusen:
Leverkusen’s recent away record is mixed over three outings.

On 5 November they travelled to face SL Benfica in the Champions League and fell 0‑1, with P.

Schick’s 65' penalty proving decisive for the Portuguese side.

A week earlier, on 1 November, they secured a convincing 3‑0 win away at Bayern Munich, thanks to goals from S.

Gnabry (25'), N.

Jackson (31') and an own‑goal by L.

Bade (43').

The most recent away test came on 29 October in the DFB Pokal against Paderborn, where Leverkusen were out‑scored 2‑4 despite early strikes from A.

Grimaldo (60') and a late double from I.

Maza (120' +2) and A.

Garcia (120' +2).

Overall in away fixtures they have scored six, conceded five, and average 2.0 goals for and 1.7 against per match.

Their home form, by contrast, is flawless with wins over Heidenheim (6‑0) and Freiburg (2‑0), indicating a team that thrives in familiar surroundings but can produce quality results on the road when disciplined.

Head-to-Head Record
There is no recorded head‑to‑head history between Manchester City and Bayer Leverkusen; the database shows zero total matches, goals, or draws.

The absence of direct precedent means analysts must rely on indirect comparatives – City’s dominant domestic form and Leverkusen’s high‑scoring Bundesliga displays.

Historically, clubs entering a fresh European meeting often lean on recent performance metrics, and both sides have identical average goal outputs (2.6 per game) albeit with City’s tighter defence (0.8 goals conceded per match versus Leverkusen’s 1.0).

The lack of prior encounters eliminates any psychological edge, placing the emphasis on tactical adaptation and current momentum.

City’s recent home dominance suggests they will aim to impose possession and early pressure, while Leverkusen will likely target quick transitions, as evidenced by early goals against Heidenheim (2’) and Benfica (65’).

The novelty of the fixture adds an element of uncertainty, but the statistical parity implies a closely contested match where the first goal could prove decisive.

Statistical Insights
Both teams average 2.6 goals per game, highlighting an attacking emphasis.

City’s defence is notably tighter, conceding only 0.8 goals per match, compared with Leverkusen’s one‑goal average, suggesting City may have a marginal edge in preventing late concessions.

Goal‑timing trends show City often open scoring in the first half – Haaland’s 17' and 29' strikes against Bournemouth and Liverpool – while Leverkusen’s earliest breakthrough this season came at the 2' mark versus Heidenheim, indicating a capacity to start aggressively.

In the Champions League, City have produced a 4‑1 win with three different scorers, reflecting depth, whereas Leverkusen’s lone away European win featured a spread of three different contributors.

The data also reveal that both sides are prone to conceding late goals in matches where they are trailing (City’s 90' goal for Swansea, Leverkusen’s 120' double against Paderborn), suggesting fitness and concentration could be pivotal in the final minutes.

Upcoming Fixtures
After the 25 November showdown, Manchester City’s next fixture arrives on 29 November at home against Leeds United in the Premier League.

A win would sustain City’s momentum and keep pressure on rivals, while a slip could expose vulnerabilities ahead of the season’s climax.

Bayer Leverkusen will travel to face Borussia Dortmund on 29 November in a Bundesliga clash.

Dortmund represent a strong domestic opponent, so a positive result would reinforce Leverkusen’s confidence and league standing, whereas a loss could dampen the morale gained from a potential Champions League point.

Both clubs will therefore view the 25 November game as a catalyst – City looking to build a winning streak and Leverkusen aiming to translate European performance into domestic ambition.

Match Prediction
Based on the parity in attacking output (2.6 goals per game) and City’s superior defensive record (0.8 conceded vs.

1.0), the numbers suggest a narrow advantage for the home side.

City’s ability to score early and control possession, combined with Leverkusen’s occasional defensive lapses in the closing stages, points toward a 2‑1 victory for Manchester City.

Expected goals: City to find the net through Haaland or Foden before halftime, Leverkusen to reply via a quick counter‑attack, with a late City goal sealing the win.

Betting Insights
The combined average of 5.2 goals per match implies a high‑scoring encounter; an Over 2.5 goals market is attractive, with odds reflecting the likelihood of at least three goals.

Both teams have a BTTS (both teams to score) record of over 50%, supporting a BTTS wager.

City’s tighter defence suggests a potential 1.5‑2.5 goal range, but Leverkusen’s propensity for late goals nudges the total upwards.

A double‑chance on City (win or draw) offers safety given home advantage, while a correct‑score of 2‑1 carries strong value.

For Asian handicap, City -0.5 appears justified, balancing their defensive edge against Leverkusen’s attacking firepower.
