Preview

While Ferencváros can’t find their former form this year, Leverkusen, on the other hand, are starting to pick up wins on a regular basis. Moreover, Adam Hložek, who is looking for his first European goal in a Bayer jersey, is starting to contribute more and more.

The Hungarian side have only managed to beat Debrecen in their last 6 games, thanks to two goals from Ryan Mmaee. Since then, however, the Moroccan striker hasn’t made a breakthrough and Ferencváros have managed to score only 5 goals in the 6 matches mentioned above, while conceding 6.

Since the elimination of Monaco, Leverkusen has drawn with Freiburg and then won the next three games, including the opening game against Ferencváros. In the Bundesliga, they are scratching their way up the table, with Hložka and co. just 6 points behind in 6th place.

Bayer were the dominant team in the opening duel, enjoying 65.7% ball possession. However, when it came to shots, coach Stanislav Cherchesov’s team managed to keep up with their opponents relatively well in this statistic.

However, the 2: 0 result clearly plays into the hands of Leverkusen, who are logically the big favourites to advance. Moreover, the odds of 1.95 are written on its victory, which proves how much confidence the German team has.

Similarly, football experts believe that Leverkusen will secure promotion and expect them to win rather than the home team.

However, it must be added that Leverkusen’s defence is definitely not 100%, having kept a clean sheet in only one of the last 8 matches, the one match without a goal scored was against Ferencváros.

Goals are to be expected then, as the home side must score at least two goals to advance, the Over 2.5 at odds of 1.8 is therefore an interesting choice for Thursday’s rematch.
