Liverpool The Reds, along with Aston Villa, lead the Champions League group stage table, having secured the maximum points from three rounds (9 points). They have faced top-5 European league representatives: from Serie A – AC Milan (3:1) and Bologna (2:0), and from Bundesliga – RB Leipzig (1:0). Arne Slot's men have scored before the 30-minute mark in all three opening rounds. It's worth noting that in their last 10 Champions League matches, Liverpool have claimed 8 victories, suffering only two defeats (both against Real Madrid). Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, forwards Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa, as well as midfielder Harvey Elliott will miss the match due to injuries. In 7 out of the last 10 club games in the Champions League, no more than three goals were scored. One of the teams failed to score in 5 out of the last 7 Liverpool matches in this tournament. There was a draw in the first 45 minutes in 7 out of the last 9 Liverpool home matches in the Champions League. Bayer Leverkusen The Leverkusen side can also be pleased with the start of the Champions League group stage. After three rounds, the team has 7 points and is in a high sixth place in the table. In the last round, Xabi Alonso's men dropped their first points and conceded their first goal, playing to a draw away at Brest (1:1). Before that, Bayer had clean-sheet victories over AC Milan (1:0) and Feyenoord (4:0). The Germans are now on a five-match unbeaten streak in this tournament (2 wins and 3 draws). Defenders Nordi Mukiele, Janyuel Belosian, and forward Amin Adli will not play due to injuries. In 14 out of the last 17 Bayer games in the Champions League, no more than three goals were scored. At least one team failed to score in 9 out of the last 11 club matches in this tournament. Leverkusen failed to score more than one goal in 10 out of the last 13 away matches in this European cup. Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen: Match Prediction Since 2019, the Merseysiders have only lost in the Champions League to teams from Serie A and La Liga. However, Liverpool has a good track record against Bundesliga clubs – over the last 22 years, the team has played nine matches against German clubs in the UCL and secured 8 victories with one draw. I believe that the English side will, not without difficulty, overcome Leverkusen, who in this century have faced Premier League clubs 12 times in this European tournament and suffered 7 defeats (2 wins and 3 draws). I'd also highlight the current form of both clubs in the Champions League. Liverpool has won 5 out of their last 6 home matches, only losing to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen's away performances in this European cup have not been impressive – in their last 18 games, they've managed only three wins in regular time (7 draws and 8 losses). Additionally, Leverkusen tends to score few goals in away Champions League encounters. My prediction is a "Liverpool Victory" with odds of 1.67(ru); 1.67(kk); 1.67(by); 1.67(tj).
