Leverkusen won the first leg of the Champions League playoffs with 3-2 at Parken Stadium and is obvious odds favorite to qualify over FC Copenhagen today in Germany.
Bayer Leverkusen started the season like from a cannon … 6-0 win in the League Cup, 3-2 in Copenhagen and 2-0 in the weekend against Dortmund (on the road!). Bayer lost some players in the summer but seems better than ever right now and in Denmark they clearly deserved to win the game.

Copenhagen lost the title last year and this season they got off to a very bad start … 0-3 vs. Hobro, 1-2 vs. Midtjylland. I thought they will focus vs. Leverkusen at home and indeed they improved a little bit but still not good enough to get a result despite leading 2-1 early. It could be seen their is a sensible difference in form and value between FCC and Leverkusen, and Copenhagen found no way to close down the attacks of the German side.
Copenhagen had the chance to get something at home in the first leg, I think that was their chance and they blew it. They are in bad shape and they could be in for a long night in Germany. Leverkusen should continue the amazing run of form and at home they should dispatch Copenhagen without too many problems. The danish defense is a joke right now and Leverkusen is in blistering attacking shape, so for sure you must expect them to score a couple of goals. Copenhagen I don’t think will manage to repeat the scoring performance in the first leg, they play away and Leverkusen will be keen to not let that happen again. My tip will be a Leverkusen win with -2 handicap … I agree -2 handicap is a bit of a stretch but the odds for -1,5 are too low for me and with -2 we still don’t lose if Leverkusen wins by 2 goals. Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen – FC Copenhagen 3-0.
