Bayer Leverkusen vs PSG Prediction: Visitors to make it three in a row

Paris Saint-Germain will be gunning for a third consecutive victory in the Uefa Champions League when they head to Germany to take on Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday (20:00 BST, TNT Sports 5). Les Parisiens have seen off Atalanta and Barcelona so far in the league phase.

Leverkusen are unbeaten after the first two rounds but they have had to settle for a point on each occasion. Read on for my Bayer Leverkusen vs PSG predictions, accompanied by the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

The hosts are having to cope with a few injury troubles at the moment. Exequiel Palacios is struggling with a groin strain, while Nathan Tella and Jarell Quansah are out with knee problems.

Axel Tape-Kobrissa is a doubt to feature on Tuesday owing to a sore hamstring, while Patrik Schick is unlikely to feature as he has a thigh issue. Martin Terrier is sidelined with an Achilles tendon rupture.

Christian Michel Kofane is on a three-match scoring run across all competitions and he will be hoping to channel that momentum against the reigning European champions.

Football Odds

Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele is closing in on a return from a hamstring injury but it is likely that he will be back in action for PSG at the weekend. So that means Goncalo Ramos will likely lead the line again, and he has found the net in both UCL fixtures this season.

Joao Neves remains out with a similar problem to Dembele, while Marquinhos (thigh) and Fabian Ruiz (hip) are also doubts for Les Parisiens.

Today's Football Fixtures

Bayer Leverkusen vs PSG Odds

Leverkusen have won three of their five home games in all competitions in 2025/26 and they are 4/1 to prevail on Tuesday.

Their first two UCL contests ended in a share of the spoils, and the draw is priced at 16/5 on this occasion.

PSG have triumphed in both Champions League matches thus far and they are 4/6, which has an implied probability of 60% to win this clash.

There have been goals at both ends in eight of the hosts' past nine matches and BTTS is available at 8/13.

PSG to win @ 4/6

Leverkusen's two draws in the Champions League so far suggest that they are a tough side to crack but at the same time they haven't faced the current European champions, who have capable goalscorers across all areas of the pitch.

Luis Enrique's side have been coping without some of their main attacking stars at the beginning of the season but it is a testament of their squad depth as the understudies have been delivering when called upon.

With the likes of Ramos, Bradley Barcola, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue, the French outfit still have plenty of quality to head to Germany with, even with Dembele not expected back from injury just yet.

PSG have enjoyed a flying start in the UCL and I am predicting that their strong form will continue here. I believe they will have too much for Leverkusen to handle.

Goncalo Ramos anytime goalscorer @ 13/10

In Dembele's absence, Ramos has been stepping up for PSG. The Portugal international has found the net in both Champions League fixtures this term and he has been having greater joy in this competition than in Ligue 1, where he has one goal in eight appearances.

That goal did come last time out in the thrilling 3-3 draw with Strasbourg, so the forward should be filled with confidence heading to Germany. I think he is a good price to continue his scoring streak in the UCL as he's been doing a good job as the main man in recent weeks, and he will once again be surrounded by talented players who can give him the service he requires.
