Bayer Leverkusen Prediction – Can Bayer Leverkusen record memorable victory?
Wednesday night’s hosts, Bayer Leverkusen, will feel they have a decent chance of turning the form-book upside down in tonight’s Matchday 6 clash against Juventus at their Bay Arena having won their last 3 matches on the trot in all competitions.
Recent wins against Lokomotiv Moscow (2-0 away) along with back-to-back Bundesliga victories over Bayern Munich (away) and Schalke (home) will give Bayer Leverkusen plenty of confidence that they can get a result here and hope that Atletico Madrid slip up against Russian outfit, Lokomotiv Moscow in the other match in Group D.
Overall form in recent weeks has been impressive from Bayer Leverkusen as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 6 matches in all competitions and although they started this Champions League campaign in disastrous fashion by losing all of their three opening group matches, Leverkusen have since bounced back to give themselves a chance at progressing.
Defeats to Lokomotiv Moscow, Juventus and Atletico Madrid was the worst start possible, but the hosts have since recorded back-to-back wins against Atletico Madrid and Lokomotiv Moscow to keep themselves in the hunt for a top two finish.
Juventus Prediction – Can Juventus remain unbeaten in group stage?
Onto Juventus, and the Italians have already sealed their place in the knockout rounds of the Champions League as they sit top of Group D and 6 points clear of 2nd placed Atletico Madrid with just one group match remaining.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been confirmed as absent and won’t travel to Germany for this final Matchday 6 clash against Bayer Leverkusen, and the visitors have failed to win their last two matches heading into this encounter having been held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by Sassuolo and then suffering a heavy 3-1 defeat away at Lazio, both in Serie A.
Therefore, Juventus’s unbeaten tag so far in these group matches of the Champions League is under some threat on Wednesday night and although they’ve won their last 4 ties overall in the Champions League, these were with Ronaldo in the team.
Results away from home have also been sketchy for the Italians in recent times too as The Old Lady have managed to pick up just 1 away win out of their last 5 Champions League ties on the road, which was a 2-1 win at bottom team, Lokomotiv Moscow.
Key-Facts – Bayer Leverkusen vs Juventus
- Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last 6 matches in all competitions
- Bayer Leverkusen have lost just 2 of their last 11 CL ties at home
- Juventus have won just 1 of their last 5 away ties in the Champions League
Betting Tips Verdict
Bayer Leverkusen may not get a better chance at beating Juventus than tonight with Ronaldo missing, while the hosts have won their last 3 matches on the trot.
