Will the top trump from last season bring the Black and Reds the next points? Of all 13 clubs in the North West division, Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ de Cae and Co. have conceded the fewest goals (19). "A strong defence is a reflection of each player in our squad," said de Cae who will, as usual, start on the Xbox Series S/X.
Leverkusen, in fifth place, play third-placed Werder Bremen from 18.00 CET. De Cae meets Ali ‘PREDATORFIFA’ Oskoui Rad on Xbox.
Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr and his Leverkusen teammates play Hansa Rostock for the first time ever in the VBL later on in the evening (20.00 CET). The club from the Baltic coast are taking part in the official eSports competition for the first time this season. "Hansa Rostock have had an outstanding first season in the VBL so far. We are happy about every club that decides to take part in the VBL and thereby increase the value of the competition," said Florian Dederichs, head of internationalisation and eSports at Bayer 04. Rostock are currently ninth on 26 points.
All matches involving the #B04eSports players are streamed live as usual on the Bayer 04 Twitch channel. New signing Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik will again host and commentate on the matches.
The Werkself's 3-0 victory over Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League certainly left many happy faces: Malik Tillman was delighted with his brace, Robert Andrich with the clean sheet and coach Kasper Hjulmand with the "manner" of this significant home win. With an overwhelming superiority and over 75 per cent possession at times, Bayer 04 deserved their place in the UCL play-off round. They will face a familiar foe in February. The Werkself review.

The Leverkusen eSports team played the remaining three of the six matches in the online preliminary round of the fourth showdown in the VBL Club Championship 2025/26. RB Leipzig and SC Freiburg were among the teams with the highest goal threat, including two World Cup participants in their ranks. Although the #B04eSports players were defeated in the matches overall, nine points from the first three games last week were enough for Leverkusen to advance to the offline round in Berlin on 2 February.
