Our tip: Brest – Leverkusen: 1st half Leverkusen

23.10.2024 18:45

Even Brest players themselves are surprised how well they entered the Champions League.

The French team was second after two rounds with full points and a score of 6-1. On the other hand, it has to be said that the newcomer to the competition had a favorable draw and after matches against two Austrian opponents (Sturm Graz 2-1, Salzburg 4-0), they now face much tougher challenges, for example, already now a home match against the German champion.

Former Slavia striker Sima has also contributed to the successful start, scoring in both matches and scoring three goals in total. However, his start today is uncertain, as he missed the weekend’s Ligue 1 derby with Rennes (1-1) due to a pulled muscle problem. Brest are not doing nearly as well in the national league as they are on the European stage, only 11th after eight rounds.

Leverkusen, on the other hand, are doing well in both competitions, just three points behind leaders Bayern in the Bundesliga, with whom they recently drew 1-1. In the Champions League, like Brest, it is 100 percent after two rounds, and it had a disproportionately tougher draw – it won 4-0 at Feynoord and beat AC Milan 1-0 at home.

The situation around cannonballer Bonifacio is unclear, who was in a car accident after the weekend’s 2-1 loss to Frankfurt, but Xabi Alonso has a wide enough squad to replace him. A recovered Schick can start at the back.

What to bet on:

Although both teams have earned full points, there is a qualitative difference between them. Leverkusen will confirm their role as favourites, leading at half-time.

Trust:

6/10
