Prediction on Bayer Leverkusen vs Molde
Prediction One: Match Result – Draw
For our first prediction, we’ll be going with a score draw, Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 Molde.
Bayer Leverkusen are no doubt having a season to remember, having beaten all comers in Group H of this year’s Europa league competition so far, and already qualified for the next stage, they will be chasing a hundred percent record, while Molde need a win or a draw (depending on other results) to qualify. Leverkusen are the better team but at the back of Alonso’s mind, will be their next Bundesliga match up against Eintracht Frankfurt, who beat Bayern Munich 5-1 in the last matchday, so we expect some key players will be rested
.
Prediction Two: Total Goals – Over 2.5
Xabi Alonso’s side are one of the most explosive sides in Europe, so naturally they score a ton of goals. All but one of Bayer Leverkusen’s home game this season have seen over 2.5 goals scored, we are predicting that trend will continue
Match Preview on Bayer Leverkusen vs Molde
Bayer Leverkusen have already qualified for the next stage of this year’s Europa league competition, and have also been confirmed winners of group H with fifteen points from five games. So while the hundred percent is there for the taking, we believe Alonso’s biggest priority now has to be strengthening their lead at the top of the Bundesliga so we expect some heavy rotations in this game.
Molde found Qarabag a hard team to beat in their last Europa game, and may just have thrown their golden qualification opportunity away after they drew 2-2 with their major opposition for the last qualifying spot. They still have a chance to qualify but that will be heavily dependent on the Hacken vs Qarabag game. The Norwegians sit third as things stand, with seven points from five games.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Bayer Leverkusen: Hradecky, Hincapie, Andrich, Kossounou, Grimaldo, Palacios, Xhaka, Frimpong, Wirtz, Hofmann, Boniface
Molde: Petersen, Haugan, Oyvann, Ellingsen, Lovik, Eriksen, Breivik, Odegard, Haugen, Berisha, Kitolano
