Köln Bayer Leverkusen betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 6^th position of the league, with 25 points won, after 7 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Bayern München, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Schalke 04, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 10 wins and 5 losses in away matches, with 31 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 21 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Champions League, they got a home loss against Juventus by (0‑2). In the last 6 away league matches Bayer Leverkusen has a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 18 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 20 of the last 23 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 14 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Leverkusen comes unmotivated for this match after a home defeat, by 0-2, against Juventus. The visiting team is known for their deadly counter attacks, and has players who are adept at their respective role. Note that Leverkusen usually responds well when they are at a disadvantage. Like the "enemy" of this round, the visitors should play in a 4-3-3 tactical system with the goal of using the side runners to invest in the offensive process. Still, Leverkusen is expected to adopt a more defensive stance, given the quality of its “enemy”. The Leverkusen coach should not be able to count on Weiser and Pohjanpalo for being handed over to the medical department. Note that Tah will also be left out for being punished.

Confirmed Lineup: Lukáš Hrádecký, Aleksandar Dragović, Sven Bender, Wendell, Nadiem Amiri, Julian Baumgartlinger, Kai Havertz, Charles Aránguiz, Lars Bender, Kevin Volland, Moussa Diaby.
Coach: G. Seoane.
