Atl. Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
The hardships in the preseason were enormous. Bayer Leverkusen has put everything into the second half of the season and qualified for the Champions League on the home stretch of the last season. Now it looks as if the Werkself will give away everything they have achieved on the international scene in a short time.
Bayer Leverkusen are already in the premier class before the third matchday. In fact, the team of Peter Bosz may not yet be eliminated, but a defeat on Tuesday at Atletico Madrid would mean that the chances of wintering in the Champions League would be reduced to a minimum.
Leverkusen was only an outsider, as Juventus and Atletico Madrid were considered favorites in the run-up to the match. After the first two matchdays, these two big clubs are each at the top of Group D with four points each. Lok Moscow have three points in their favor, while Leverkusen are without points after two defeats.
The home defeat against Lok Moscow threw the Werkself far behind. Against this background, the second leg against the Russians is probably the most important match for the Werkself. A point or even a win against Juve or Atletico would be enormously important. On Tuesday, however, the forecast in the match between Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen is clearly heading for a home win.
Any draw against Atletico or Juventus would be a big step towards remaining in the Europa League, at least. We can not worry about further progress in the Champions League until the Werkself win in the Spanish capital. But we have a clear tendency to give a home win in the match between Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen.
Bayer 04 has generally gone out very well at Atletico. In the current condition of the team of Peter Bosz, however, there is much to suggest a defeat for the Spaniards, even if we would not be surprised. The kick-off for the third matchday of the Champions League between Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano takes place on 22.10.2019 at 17:55.
Atletico Madrid:
In La Liga, a lot seems to be possible for Atletico this season, as the two big rivals, Barcelona and Real Madrid, have not always been sovereign this season. However, the team of Diego Simeone could not capitalize on this, as they are currently in fifth place with 16 points from nine games.
Three counters are currently missing from the front runners from Barcelona. Atletico currently has too many points in a draw. Madrid have been unbeaten in seven games, but have played five draws on their own. With a little more luck in the game it could have been a few more counters on the account of Colchoneros.
In general, it is very difficult for an opponent to win in Wanda Metropolitano. This is especially true for the international stage, as Atletico have not lost in the European Cup eleven times in a row at home. That does not sound like we should be looking at the odds for an away win in the match between Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen.
Last weekend, it was enough in the league once again only to a 1-1 draw. With the Valencia CF, however, a high-carat in the Spanish capital was a guest. Diego Costa put the Madrilenians 1-0 in the lead just before half-time thanks to a penalty. Eight minutes before the end, Atletico gave the victory in conceding but still out of hand.
However, Diego Simeone was not particularly angry with his team. He had said before the season that the club would face a tough season, and the bottom line is he is right.
Diego Simeone, however, has the recipe ready to win more victories in the coming weeks. Hard work should await its players in the next training sessions.
Unfortunately on Tuesday there will probably be no duel between two of Europe’s most talented players. Joao Felix will almost certainly not play because of an ankle injury. Sime Vrsaljko is missing because of a knee injury. It is also questionable whether Stefan Savic and Vitolo will be back in the squad.
Leverkusen:
Maybe Bayer Leverkusen is still not as far as the Werkself would like to see it. The team of Peter Bosz has great potential, but somehow the team is not taking the next step. In the Bundesliga table Bayer Leverkusen is currently on the spot.
It was rarely easier to settle in the upper house of the German upper house. Currently Leverkusen is only in ninth place and can not take advantage of the weaknesses of the competitors. However, missing to the front runners from Gladbach only two counters. The coming weekend is theoretically even the jump to the top of the table possible.
However, Bayer 04 have just brought home a draw from their last three games. The team is a bit overwhelmed at the moment, especially on the opponent’s place, where there were in the Champions League and in the Bundesliga last two bad 0-3 claps. Under these conditions, in the match between Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen, a forecast for an away win practically excludes.
Last Friday, Leverkusen in the Bundesliga at Eintracht Frankfurt completely missed the opening phase. Already after 20 minutes the team of Peter Bosz was 0: 2 behind. Although the Werkself had more of the game, but did not recover from this backlog. At the end Leverkusen even conceded the 0: 3.
Peter Bosz was really eaten and would have liked to replace more than three players. Even before the break he took Mitchell Weiser from the square. It will now have to show if the kickers have learned their lessons from these recent weak games.
Anyway, Kevin Volland makes it clear that the meeting in Madrid is the last chance to break something in the premier class.
Personnel it looks like that Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday due to injury due to renounce four players that you could all well imagine in the starting eleven. Daley Sinkgraven and Wendell are missing in the back four. Charles Aranguiz will not be able to provide stability in the defensive midfield and with Leon Bailey missing an option on the offensive wing.
