Leverkusen with new self-confidence: Off to the cup against Paderborn!
On October 27, 2025, the Bayer Leverkusen team will look forward to the challenges ahead with fresh confidence. After the convincing 2-0 win against SC Freiburg, the team remains on a positive course and is now unbeaten in seven games in the Bundesliga. Jonas Hofmann now has the cup game against SC Paderborn on Wednesday at 6 p.m. and the team is determined to win there too.
Coach Kasper Hjulmand seems to be the right man at the right time. With an impressive score of 16 out of 18 possible points under his direction, he has significantly stabilized the team. However, he emphasizes that there is still room for improvement. “The win against Freiburg was a good step, but we can still get better,” said Hjulmand.
The path to improvement
Leverkusen showed against Freiburg that they are willing to further develop their playing identity. The goals from Ernest Poku in the 22nd minute and Edmond Tapsoba in the 52nd minute demonstrated the team's offensive power, which was particularly important after the heavy 7-2 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. The team travels to Paderborn with a lot of self-confidence, that's for sure.
Next Saturday a completely different challenge awaits: FC Bayern. This classic promises pure excitement and could be another benchmark for Leverkusen.
Defeat as motivation
After the heavy slap in the Champions League, the win against Freiburg is of great importance for the team. The players know that they have to surpass themselves in order to finally gain a foothold at international level. Hjulmand firmly believes that the team can develop much beyond its current performance potential.
In conclusion, Bayer Leverkusen are in good shape and hungry for more points in the Bundesliga. The fans can look forward to exciting games where the team wants to show off all their skills in the near future!
