Loic Bade - Forced off injured Bade was forced off in the second half of Saturday's clash against Union Berlin due to an apparent thigh injury, according to Bild.

Impact Bade was forced off in the 68th minute of Saturday's clash against Union Berlin due to an apparent thigh injury and was replaced by Jonas Hofmann. The Frenchman will undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue. The center-back had recently been used in a reserve role, so his absence should not have a major impact if confirmed, with Jarell Quansah expected to start in defense.

The assist was the first in the Champions League since October as he's combined for two goal involvements, seven shots, five chances created and 19 crosses over his last three appearances in the competition.

Leipzig's Champions League hopes hit by 2-2 draw with lowly Wolfsburg in Bundesliga

Leipzig’s Champions League hopes have taken a blow in a 2-2 draw with lowly Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga

5 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Jonas Hofmann - Assists off the bench Hofmann assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 4-0 win over FC St. Pauli.

Impact Hofmann made the most of his chance off the bench with a late assist in Leverkusen's comfortable win. He's unlikely to see action in UCL play against Olympiacos unless there's an injury but if he does see the field, he has a decent chance to make an impact as Olympiacos gave up 14 goals during eight UCL league phase games.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Vazquez - Gets an assist Vazquez assisted once to go with two crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus FC St. Pauli.

Impact The midfielder was credited with an assist in the win, and Vazquez was accurate with his limited service. He will be involved in the offense heavily once again on Wednesday against Olympiacos in UCL playoff action and the matchup is favorable. Olympiacos allowed 14 goals in eight league phase games in UCL play.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Aleix Garcia - Tallies assist Garcia assisted once to go with seven crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 4-0 victory against FC St. Pauli.

Impact Garcia was bound to come away with at least one assist given his level of service and he did just that. The midfielder should deliver similar results if he keeps this volume up in UCL playoff action on Wednesday against Olympiacos.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Edmond Tapsoba - Nets goal Tapsoba scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus FC St. Pauli.

Impact Tapsoba scored on his only shot of the contest but it's his second goal in the last seven Bundesliga games. That's a decent clip for a defender and shows Tapsoba could continue being involved in the attack when Bayer Leverkusen meets Olympiacos on Wednesday as the UCL playoff round begins.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Jarell Quansah - Scores on lone shot Quansah scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus FC St. Pauli.

Impact Quansah made the most of his limited opportunities, putting a goal in the back of the net to give Leverkusen the 1-0 lead. The defender could have similar success against an Olympiacos side that gave up 14 goals during the UCL league phase.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Patrik Schick - Scores before being subbed off Schick scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 4-0 victory over FC St. Pauli.

Impact The forward added another goal to his tally but did get some nice rest ahead of a UCL playoff match against Olympiacos. The Greek side conceded 14 times in the UCL league phase, so Schick should be a factor in that contest in the final third.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ernest Poku - Goal, assist in win Poku scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Saturday's 4-0 victory against FC St. Pauli.

Impact Poku was a star offensively, registering a goal and an assist in an easy win for Leverkusen. He should continue having success when the side meets Olympiacos in the UCL playoffs, as Olympiacos allowed 14 goals during the league phase.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Janis Blaswich - Keeps clean sheet Blaswich made one save and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 4-0 victory versus FC St. Pauli.

Impact Blaswich only had to make one save as Leverkusen kept St. Pauli at bay for most of the game. He'll try to maintain this form in the first UCL playoff leg against Olympiacos, a side which did score 10 goals in the UCL group phase.

Ibrahim Maza - Finds starting role Maza (knee) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli.

Impact Maza finds a place in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against St. Pauli after returning to full fitness following persistent training this week. The attacking midfielder ends a two-game absence and comes straight back into the lineup after having started in his previous three appearances. He will look to build on his tally of two goals and two assists in 14 appearances (eight starts).

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ibrahim Maza - Will face St. Pauli Maza (knee) is an option for Saturday's match against St. Pauli, according to manager Kasper Hjulmand. "He's ready and has trained all week. He has made a lot of progress. He's ve...

Impact Maza is fit once again after persistent training this week, with the attacker set to be an option to face St. Pauli. It will end a two-game absence, returning after he started in his previous three appearances. He will then hope to start immediately, recording two goals and two assists in 14 appearances (eight starts).

Bayer Leverkusen vs FC St. Pauli Prediction and Betting Tips | February 14th 2026 Bayer Leverkusen will welcome St. Pauli to BayArena in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The hosts have won 11 of their 20 league games and are sixth in the league table with 36 points.

Tim Oermann - Clears illness Oermann (illness) was back in full team training on Wednesday and is an option moving forward, the club posted.

Impact Oermann missed the last match against Gladbach due to illness but has since been cleared after returning to full team training on Wednesday and is now back in the mix moving forward. This is a boost for the Werkself as he strengthens the defensive depth heading into the second half of the season.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Ibrahim Maza - Trains Tuesday Maza (knee) is back in training Tuesday, according to his club.

Impact Maza appears to be on the brink of his return Tuesday, with the attacker working with a ball in team training. This gives the club another option in the midfield, as he has recorded four goal contributions in 14 appearances (eight starts). He has been seeing more of a starting role as of late, hoping to return to that spot after his time out.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Janis Blaswich - Heroic for draw Blaswich registered five saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Monchengladbach.

Impact Blaswich stopped five of the six shots he faced during Saturday's draw, putting together an excellent showing. He was only left with a draw, but the performance deserved more, as he made some truly exceptional saves. Blaswich should continue to play a big role moving forward as Leverkusen haven't been stout defensively in front of him.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Ezequiel Fernandez - Busy in midfield Fernandez registered one tackle (one won), one clearance and one interception in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Monchengladbach.

Impact Fernandez was completely constrained to the defensive portion of midfield during Saturday's jammy draw. It was a match where neither team was particularly expressive, which meant Fernandez spent most of it mopping up loose balls in the middle of the park. Fernandez has limited offensive upside, with his only bright spots likely to come in matches where Leverkusen dominate the ball.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Hofmann - Held quiet Hofmann recorded one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Monchengladbach.

Impact Hofmann failed to get much of anything going during Saturday's draw. He sent in a single cross and took a single shot, but that was all he accomplished. It was a day to forget for the attacker, especially as he only salvaged a draw with an own goal. Hofmann remains a key part of the attack when he starts, but rotation has limited his overall upside.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Patrik Schick - Struggles in draw Schick recorded two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Monchengladbach. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.

Impact Schick failed to put a shot on goal during Saturday's draw, and really failed to threaten the backline at all. It was a poor showing for the striker, who is normally one of the most lethal in the Bundesliga. He will hope to bounce back moving forward, with some easier clashes on the horizon.
