Our Predictions
City are huge favorites at 1.25. Their home form is strong and Leverkusen’s injury crisis leaves them at a disadvantage. City’s motivation to move up from 9th in the table and past dominance in H2H matches further back this up.
City’s attack is in good shape, averaging over 2 goals at home. Leverkusen’s shaky defense and likely game script point to a high-scoring match. The 1.40 odds suggest this is a strong possibility.
Leverkusen have struggled for goals away, especially with several attackers out injured. City’s defense usually locks down at home and odds of 1.95 make this a good value.
