Liverpool Liverpool, alongside Aston Villa, top the Champions League group stage table with a maximum of 9 points after three rounds. Their opponents included top-5 European league representatives: from Serie A – Milan (3:1) and Bologna (2:0), and from the Bundesliga – RB Leipzig (1:0). Arne Slot's charges managed to score before the 30-minute mark in all three starting rounds. Notably, in their last 10 Champions League matches, Liverpool secured 8 victories, suffering only two defeats (both times against Real Madrid from Madrid). Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, forwards Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa, as well as midfielder Harvey Elliott will miss the match due to injuries. In 7 out of the last 10 Champions League games involving the club, a maximum of three goals were scored. One of the teams failed to score in 5 out of the last 7 Liverpool matches in this tournament. A draw was recorded in the first 45 minutes in 7 out of the previous 9 home matches for Liverpool in the Champions League. Bayer Leverkusen Leverkusen can also be pleased with the start of the Champions League group stage. After three rounds, the team has 7 points and a high sixth place in the table. In the last round, Xabi Alonso's men dropped their first points and conceded their first goal, drawing away with Brest (1:1). Prior to that, Bayer had clean-sheet victories over Milan (1:0) and Feyenoord (4:0). The Germans' unbeaten streak in this tournament now stands at five matches (2 wins and 3 draws). Defenders Nordi Mukiele, Janyuel Belosian and forward Amin Adli will not play due to injuries. In 14 out of the previous 17 Bayer Champions League games, more than three goals were not scored. At least one team failed to score in 9 out of the last 11 matches involving the club in this tournament. Leverkusen failed to score more than one goal in 10 out of the last 13 away matches in this European competition. Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen: Match Prediction Since 2019, the Merseysiders have only lost in the Champions League to teams from Serie A and La Liga. However, Liverpool has a good record against Bundesliga clubs – over the last 22 years, the team has played nine encounters with German clubs in the UCL and secured 8 wins with one draw. I believe that the English side will overcome Leverkusen with some difficulty, who in this century have faced Premier League clubs 12 times in this European tournament, suffering 7 defeats (2 wins and 3 draws). I would also note the current form of both clubs in the Champions League. Liverpool won 5 out of the last 6 home matches, only losing to Real Madrid. Bayer Leverkusen's away performance in this European cup is less impressive – in the last 18 games, the Germans have only 3 wins in regular time (7 draws and 8 defeats), and they tend to score fewer goals in away Champions League encounters. My prediction is a "Liverpool Victory" with odds of 1.67(ru); 1.67(kk); 1.67(by); 1.67(tj). Author: Oleksandr Oleksenko
