Bayer Leverkusen vs Slavia Prague Prediction & Betting tips
Bayer Leverkusen are already in the sixteenth finals of the Europa League. The only question is whether the Werkself will go through as group winners or second, because all other decisions in this group have already been made before the last match against Slavia Prague. Bayer and Slavia will winter together in the Europa League.
In the Champions League, winning the group is more important than in the Europa League. Nevertheless, Peter Bosz has given the motto to want to finish this pool in first place. That will only work if there is a home win against the Czech champions on Thursday. Although both clubs are tied with twelve points, the Czechs won the first leg 1-0 at home.
Nizza and Hapoel Beer Sheva are only fighting for the unimportant third place in this group. Back to the Werkself. If we like, then the duel between the Rhinelanders and the Czechs is an absolute top game, because both teams are also doing great in their respective leagues. Overall, the quotations of the well-known betting shops between Leverkusen and Slavia Prague indicate a prognosis towards a home win.
Revenge for the first leg bankruptcy is the goal. It is highly conceivable that this mission will be successful and that is why we tend to tip the home side between Leverkusen and Slavia Prague.
Leverkusen :
The Werkself have never been better than they are at the moment. The departures of Kevin Volland and Kai Havertz have prompted other players to take on more responsibility. In addition, Peter Bosz has managed to balance the statics of the team so that the defensive is a little better overall.
This can be seen in the results. Bayer 04 have only suffered one defeat in the 15 competitive games this season, in the first leg in Prague of all places. In the table of the Bundesliga you are in second place and are the first pursuer of Bayern. It all sounds like the odds for a home win in the match between Leverkusen and Slavia Prague are almost without alternative.
Last weekend there was an expected and sovereign victory at the bottom from Schalke. After just a few minutes, Leverkusen took the lead 1-0 after an own goal. In the second section, Julian Baumgartlinger and Patrik Schick added two more goals. The Rhinelander have brought home the seventh win in the last eight games.
In general, the Werkself will make some changes. However, Peter Bosz is gradually running out of alternatives. It’s good that the second suit has been a perfect fit over the past few weeks. On Thursday, Lucas Alario, Exequiel Palacios, Paulinho, Charles Aranguiz and Santiago Arias will be the South Americans on the injured list. Kerem Demirbay is out due to a positive test.
Slavia Prague :
Regarding Slavia Prague, it can also be said that Jindrich Trpisovsky’s team is in excellent shape. There were not many dampers this season, apart from the end in qualifying for the Champions League against Midtjylland. Otherwise things are going brilliantly in the Europa League and also in the championship.
In the national league, Slavia leads the ranking with 26 points after ten matchdays. Eight wins and two draws are the result there. Slavia has been unbeaten in eight games and, like the Werkself, has seven wins. Therefore, isolated experts might tend to predict at least a draw for the guests between Leverkusen and Slavia Prague.
Last Sunday, Slavia played a match that is significantly more important than the game in the BayArena. The derby and top game at Sparta Prague was on the program. The second in the table was put in their place with a smooth 3-0. The decision was made around half-time. Between minutes 32 and 53, Abdallah Sima hit twice before Ondrej Lingr marked the goal for the 3-0 final score.
It is possible that Jindrich Trpisovsky will give some frequent players a break on Thursday, because this encounter has no real significance for the Czechs. Some actors will be out anyway. Tomas Malinsky, Laco Takacs, David Hovorka and Jan Stejskal are absent due to injuries. One or the other is on the mend after muscular complaints, but Slavia won’t take any chances.
