Bayer Leverkusen – Club Brugge KV : Preview & Prediction
The German team must win this last matchday and pray that Atletico Madrid will record a counter-performance in Porto to clinch the 3rd place and the right to play in the Europa League. Bayer Leverkusen pulled off a big performance by drawing 2-2 with Los Colchoneros in Spain on the final day of the group stage of the UEFA Europa League with Diaby scoring again. This performance was followed by a defeat on Saturday at RB Leipzig (2-0). At the BayArena, Leverkusen recently drew with Wolfsburg (2-2) on 22 October in the league but have a mixed record in this competition with a win over Atletico Madrid (2-0) and a heavy defeat by FC Porto (0-3). Club Brugge is guaranteed to finish in the top two regardless of the results of the last matchday. The current 3rd of the Jupiler Pro League has been unstoppable defensively for a long time (0 goals conceded in the first 4 games), but the team fell heavily to FC Porto (0-4) at home in the last game. This defeat may have left a mark on Hoefkens’ players who did not expect such a scenario at the Jan Breydelstadion. The Belgian team bounced back well with a league win over Ostend (4-2). Club Brugge won in Porto (0-4) and then lost in Spain against Atlético (0-0), but could lose in Germany in a decisive game for Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen must win and hope Atletico fail to win to secure a place in the Europa League.
Club Brugge is already qualified for the 1/8th round.
Club Brugge is still on the back of a 4-0 defeat at home against FC Porto.
Club Brugge won the first leg against the German team by the smallest of scores (1-0).
Bayer Leverkusen has only lost 1 of their last 5 home games.
Even if they have a very complicated start to the season, the current 16th in the Bundesliga should do their best to continue their European adventure in C3. Club Brugge, who have nothing left to hope for in the last group game, could take their foot off the gas in Germany and make some changes. Our bet is on a win for Bayer Leverkusen, who are aiming for a Europa League qualification. A win for the Germans is priced online at 1.59 and could earn you €59 for a €100 bet if successful. Club Brugge are likely to have their sights set on the Round of 16.
