Stade Brestois 29 vs Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen remain unbeaten in their last eight away games in major European competition (W5 D3), a new club record on the road in such fixtures.

Brest are the third French side to win as many as seven points from their first three games in the UEFA Champions League after Paris Saint-Germain in 1994-95 (9) and Bordeaux in 1999-00 (7).

Brest became the first team to score as many as seven goals across their first ever three games in the UEFA Champions League since Málaga in 2012-13 (also 7). They are also one of just two teams to score from outside the area in their first three matches in the competition after Aston Villa, who have also done so in 2024-25.

Brest and Bayer Leverkusen will meet for the first time – the German side’s last four major European games against French opponents have seen 23 goals scored (14 for, 9 against), with both sides scoring 2+ goals in every meeting (W3 L1).

Bayer Leverkusen have won one of their five away UEFA Champions League matches in France (D1 L3), beating Lyon in a first group stage encounter back in September 2001.

Brest have won both their games in the UEFA Champions League this season and could become the first French side to win their first three games in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League.

Bayer Leverkusen could win three successive games in the UEFA Champions League for the fifth time, with this potentially being the second time they’ve done so in their opening three games of a campaign since 2001-02, going on to reach that season’s final.

Bayer Leverkusen have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three matches in the UEFA Champions League. If they record a shutout against Brest here, it’ll be their longest ever run of clean sheets in the competition (4).
