Leverkusen – Monaco

Leverkusen Monaco betting tipsBayer Leverkusen plays hosts to AS Monaco today in the Champions League group C.

A draw would ensure Leverkusen goes to the next stage and a win would guarantee them the first place (a draw can also guarantee first place if Zenit beats Benfica earlier in the day). Hosts are well dominant in this group, 9 points, 4 points ahead of the second place and 5 points ahead of the 3rd place. Bayer`s only loss actually came against Monaco in the first game but I have to say it was a very unlucky result … the Germans missed tons of chances and I still can’t believe they lost that one … the statistics maybe do not show such a big difference in that game but they are misleading.

Hosts are coming after a 3-1 win in Bundesliga, very tough game vs. Hannover, showed excellent offensive strenght (no surprise there). Reinartz and Papadopoulos miss the game for Bayer Leverkusen.

Monaco is in a real surprising position to be second in this group with 5 points … but truth is that they only got that very lucky win vs. Leverkusen and than only 2 draws vs. Benfica and Zenit, both 0-0. Monaco actually has an incredible 1-1 goal difference after 4 games and this statistic speaks for itself about their prefered playing style. Look for Monaco to park the bus again in Germany hoping for a draw but their recent results to not give them much confidence … 3 draws and 1 loss in last 4 games. Kurzawa and Borja Lopez miss the game for Monaco.

The French team can defend and will try to make use of that tactic today, it will be tough for Leverkusen but Bayer has such good offensive weapons that it is hard to believe they will not score. They should have scored 3 goals without any problems in the first leg and I doubt they will miss so many chances today … my tip will be plain and simple Leverkusen to win and this result should happen despite the fact that Leverkusen does not necessarily need to win … this is why odds are so high, probably 1.60 would be fair. Correct score prediction: Bayer Leverkusen – AS Monaco 1-0.
