Bayer Leverkusen to avoid a defeat at all costs
Undefeated in three games in the Europa League, Bayer Leverkusen are on top of Group G. Notably, Bayer are playing in the Europa League after finishing sixth in Bundesliga last season. After a very good start to their season, the Werkself lost their momentum and are winless in their last five outings. However, they will battle to maintain their form in the UEL.
Surely, coach Gerardo Seoane has some work to do to get his team back on track. Obviously, six injuries in Bayer’s squad is making Seoane’s task much tougher. Nonetheless, the fact that they lost all three of their last home games, is worrying for the fans. More importantly, coming into this match Leverkusen must avoid defeat to secure a top-two finish.
Real Betis need a positive result in Leverkusen
In their last fixture before traveling to Leverkusen, Real Betis lost to Atletico Madrid by 3-0. That was the Green-and-Whites first defeat in four games as they are enjoying a fine season so far. In fact, Manuel Pellegrini’s team are fifth in La Liga and undefeated in the UEL. In addition, Betis lost just two of their away games and won four in return.
Looking at their recent defensive form, Betis have just one clean sheet in their last five trips. Also, they conceded on average 1.2 goals game in their last five. On the other hand, Pellegrini’s attack have an average of 1.2 goals in the last ten games. However, Betis lost the way to goal in the last three games scoring just once.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Real Betis Prediction
Based on the market statistics, there is a 90% chance that over 1.5 goals will be scored in this match. To illustrate, in Leverkusen’s and Betis’s six of the last seven games there were over 1.5 goals.
According to bookies, Leverkusen are favorites to win with odds of 1.93 at Vbet. We might not completely agree with this as the Germans are winless in five games. Therefore it is better to bet with a double chance to cover our losses.
On their part, Real Betis are inconsistent in their away games winning two and losing two of their last four trips. As a result, we will choose a combo bet from Vbet combining a double chance outcome with over 1.5 goals to be scored
Also for our second prediction, we will back a different bet from the combos section again but with an under-total goals choice.
