Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen Analysis
This looks set to be one of the ties of the round in the eyes of many backers and UCL betting sites.
Liverpool
The Arne Slot era at Liverpool has been a triumphant one so far and the Dutchman will be looking to continue his 100% record in the Champions League with the reds. Wins over AC Milan, Bologna and RB Leipzig were all ground out and this should be another very difficult fixture. With Premier League and Carabao Cup commitments to balance too, Liverpool are starting to feel the weight of elite level European football, having missed out on Champions League qualification last term but they are in the mix to go all the way this year.
Team news: Alisson and Diogo Jota remain out of action for Liverpool.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup:
Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Nunez & Diaz.
Bayer Leverkusen
German champions Bayer Leverkusen haven’t enjoyed the same sense of invincibility about them so far this term, but they remain one of the sides to beat in the competition. Reaching the knockout stages and having a good crack at any side will be their objective and they look like a side to keep an eye on for many punters and Champions League betting sites.
Team news: Amine Adli continues to be on the sidelines for Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen Predicted Lineup:
Kovar, Tah, Grimaldo, Hincapie, Mukiele, Palacios, Garcia, Tella, Hofmann, Wirtz, Schick.
Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
Both of these sides will fancy their chances of kicking on in the Champions League this term and this game will be a proper yard stick of they are both at. Neither side has tasted defeat in the competition thus far and both managers will be all too aware of the magnitude of this one. Anfield often does the trick though and Liverpool should squeeze over the line here.
