Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia M'gladbach
LEVERKUSEN, Germany (Interstat) — Bayer Leverkusen hosts Borussia M’gladbach on Sunday in a Bundesliga clash with both teams seeking momentum as the German league season enters its final stretch.
The match at BayArena is scheduled for Week 33 of the Bundesliga campaign. Kickoff is Sunday, March 22, 2026.
Leverkusen enters the fixture following a dramatic 3-3 draw away to Heidenheim on Saturday. The result extended a mixed run of form for the hosts, who have drawn four of their last five league matches. Their most recent victory was a 4-0 rout of Saint Pauli on Feb. 14. Key results include a 1-1 draw with powerhouse Bayern Munich on March 14 and a 3-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Jan. 31.
Borussia M’gladbach arrives after a 3-1 victory over 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam on March 8. That win snapped a two-game losing skid, having previously fallen 1-0 to Meppen 1912 II and 3-1 to Bayern Munich II in February. Their season has been inconsistent, with results ranging from a 3-1 win over Wolfsburg in November to several multi-goal defeats.
Statistical projections for the match present a contradiction. The Interstat game simulator predicts a 1-1 draw. However, the same outlet’s ELO rating system gives Bayer Leverkusen a 99.00 percent probability to win.
The match is a standalone Bundesliga fixture for Leverkusen. For M’gladbach, it is the first of two matches scheduled for Sunday, March 22, as they are also slated to host VfR Schwarz-Weiss Warbeyen in 2. Bundesliga play later the same day, highlighting a congested schedule.
Looking ahead, Leverkusen faces a challenging path with upcoming matches against Wolfsburg (April 4), Borussia Dortmund (April 11), and Augsburg (April 18). M’gladbach’s Bundesliga schedule includes a key meeting with Hoffenheim on May 16.
Sunday’s contest offers Leverkusen a chance to solidify their standing and convert recent draws into a vital home win. For visiting M’gladbach, it is an opportunity to build on their last victory and secure a positive result against a top-flight opponent amidst a demanding stretch.
