Bayer Leverkusen – Royale Union SG : Preview & Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen, 6th of the Bundesliga, welcomes Royale Union SG, 2nd of the Jupiler Pro League, this Thursday, April 13 at 9 pm in the first quarter-final of the Europa League. Reversed in C3 after a group phase in the Champions League, the German team easily eliminated Ferencvaros (2-0 and 0-2) in the previous round and has a great opportunity to reach the last four of this European competition. Royale Union SG, who managed to draw in Germany at Union Berlin (3-3) in the 1/8th final, is expecting again a tough opposition at the BayArena.
Since the beginning of March, Bayer Leverkusen has been winning and is on an impressive current streak of 7 consecutive wins. Xabi Alonso’s team has the best record in the Bundesliga in the last 5 games with 15 points taken out of 15 distributed. The partners of Diaby, since their victory at Ferencvaros (0-2) on the European scene, have won 3 times in the league against Bayern Munich (2-1), at Schalke 04 (0-3) and recently against Eintracht Frankfurt. Undefeated in their last 7 games, the Belgian club, victorious against Union Berlin (3-0) at home in the C3, beat Mechelen (2-1) and Sint-Truiden (2-1) at home before sharing the points at Gantoise (1-1), 4th of the Jupiler Pro League, in the last day of the championship.
The German team is missing 4 players: Amiri, Demirbay, Lunev and Schick… Hlozek, who is sick, is in doubt. The Belgian club has a full squad for this trip to Germany. Bayer Leverkusen’s attack is running at full speed with 24 goals scored in the last 9 games, an average of 2.6 goals per game. The Frenchman Moussa Diaby is decisive in the last 6 games with 2 goals and 3 assists. A goal and an assist in Ferencvaros in the last European match of Leverkusen, Diaby could be highlighted again. Maltese midfielder Teddy Teuma has scored 3 times in the last 6 games of Royale Union SG. With 9 goals in the Jupiler Pro League, he is the top scorer of his team in the league.
