Bayer Leverkusen will take on Brugge in round 6 of the UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will take place at BayArena (Leverkusen) on Tuesday, November 1.
bayer was unable to reach the desired level for quite some time and finished outside the top 10 a few times. Gheorardo Seoane was able to bring him back into the top ten. The “bronze” was awarded to this specialist for his first year in Germany. However, this season the Leverkusen had such a poor start that they fired the Swiss in the fall, despite their recent successes. The invitation from Xabi Alonso was not a good move. After a 4-0 win with Schalke, the Spaniard made his debut. But then things stopped. This includes the Champions League. The Germans lost to Porto, 0-3, despite having a new mentor. Then came a thrilling match against Atletico with a final score of 2-2. It will be remembered that VAR had already given a penalty at the end of the fight. However, Hradecky won it and the Spaniards then “ruined” the rebound two more times. The Germans are now in last place. You must play better than your opponent with whom you have already reached the playoffs on Tuesday. Philippe Clement was a great coach for
Bragge, and even won the Champions League. The Belgians were a regular in the group round, and they fought for third place within their “ceiling”. The Black-and-Blues have clearly struggled in the domestic arena under Carl Hoefkens. They were a big success in the European competition. It beat Bayer at home, but Silla’s goal was the only one. The unexpected win over Porto at his lair was soon followed. It was then that Atletico, 2-0 at home, was “slammed” and it became clear that Brugge would go even further than this group. The team seemed to relax after that. The draw was in Madrid futile. Last week, the team lost at home to Sergio Conceicao’s “dragons”, scoring 4 goals unanswered.
Until now, the clubs had only met once in the framework of the UEFA Cup, which took place in fall 2006. In Belgium, the teams drew 1-1. Bayer is expected to win against unmotivated opposition, according to bookmakers. The Germans are unstable so you can bet on the “over 2.5 goals” prediction.
Prediction: More than 2.5 goals.
