Liverpool v Bayer Leverkusen Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Liverpool v Bayer Leverkusen Match Preview
Liverpool will look to maintain their perfect start to their Champions League campaign at home to Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday evening.
Along with Aston Villa, the Reds are the only other side to have a 100% record and win all three of their games going into Matchday 4.
Leverkusen warmed up for this clash with a stultifying goalless draw at home to Stuttgart last Friday, and they currently find themselves trailing Bayern Munich by seven points in the Bundesliga.
In stark contrast, Liverpool had a memorable weekend with Manchester City and Arsenal defeated by Bournemouth and Arsenal respectively, and they sit top of the Premier League table.
Of course, this will be an emotional reunion for Xabi Alonso, who will be returning to Anfield in charge of Leverkusen, and he served Liverpool with such distinction when he was a player.
This is one of the most mouthwatering clashes of the week, and I have made some Liverpool v Leverkusen predictions which includes some carefully sourced picks.
Reds to march on
Arne Slot could scarcely have imagined things would have gone this swimmingly when he took over Liverpool.
Replacing a man of Jurgen Klopp’s stature seemed like an enormous task, but Liverpool have combined finesse with efficiency and they are looking strong.
The honeymoon period has been extended, and the Merseysiders will be confident of prolonging a record against German opponents, whom they have lost only one of their past 21 matches.
Against Leverkusen, Liverpool have won three of their four meetings, and so far, the Reds have been ahead for 73% of their total match time in the Champions League this season.
Let’s not forget Liverpool have only conceded once in Europe’s elite competition this term, so they will be tough to break down.
To kick off my Liverpool v Leverkusen predictions, I’m going with Liverpool to win to nil, and I have located a decent price of 5/2 with Paddy Power.
Anfield to be rocking again on another special European evening
As we know, Liverpool are in the midst of a tough run of games, and in the Champions League, they face Real Madrid after Leverkusen.
Although no side has won more games (11) or scored more goals (37) in European competition than Leverkusen, they probably aren’t as invincible as they once were.
Florian Wirtz will, of course, be a threat for the visitors, but Mohamed Salah has scored in each of his past five Champions League appearances for Liverpool at Anfield.
He will be looking to emulate Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record for an English club in the competition by scoring in six home matches in a row.
To accompany my first pick, I’ve been a bit bolder and plumped on the Correct Score and Liverpool to win 2-0 which is trading at 9/1 with bet365.
