Ludogorets vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
Undoubtedly, there is no clear favorite on this occasion, since both teams are skilful and offensive by nature. For this reason and knowing that we can alternate the domain of the ball, we believe that they are capable of recovering from a hypothetical initial disadvantage. Faced with this reality, we trust that the bet “more 1.5 goals” is attractive to consider. It paints to be an open duel and with spaces from the first time, since Bulgarians and Germans are known for advancing their lines and for not speculating too much.
Ludogorets:
The present of the Bulgarian team can be considered positive after adding 17 units in their domestic league (5 wins, 2 draws and 1 single drop). Vereya won 2-1 at home, managing to overcome a partial 0-1 (goals converted to 33 ‘and 37’ minutes of the second half). He has added 4 wins and 1 draw in his last 5 league appearances, proving to be a dapper and vertical set when attacking. If goals are involved, he has scored 10 and has given 4 on his fence, standing out as an interesting set thanks to the presence of many Brazilians in his tenth place (Campanharo, Cicinho, Nathanael, Wanderson). From the bank can also provide Paulo and Forster. Special mention for the Romanian goalscorer Keseru, who always contributes in different aspects of the game.
As a local, Ludogorets has played 5 matches in the Bulgarian championship, achieving 4 wins and 1 loss in total. It comes to beat 1-0 to Etar, to lose 0-1 against Lok. Plovdiv, to overcome 1-0 to CSKA Sofia, to beat 3-1 to Dunav Ruse and to overcome Vereya 2-1 as mentioned in the previous paragraph. If we analyze the performance of the team in this condition, we can conclude that it has managed to score goals in almost all its games, improving its offensive production in its last 2 home presentations.
Bayer Leverkusen:
The league start of Bayer Leverkusen can be classified as negative, since the team has added 3 consecutive defeats in the Bundesliga. It comes from losing 2-0 to visiting Borussia Monchengladbach, going down 1-3 against Wolfsburg at home and losing 3-1 to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. If we analyze the performance of the team in this league start, we can conclude that it is defending poorly. Therefore, it should not surprise us that he has yielded so many goals in his fence. His goal is to be more balanced in this opportunity, trying to take advantage of the spaces that his opponent sometimes leaves.
As a visitor, Bayer Leverkusen has played two matches so far. The first one lost to Gladbach but had chances to score. The following one was before the Bavarians last Saturday and in this duel he did not have many situations facing the rival arch. For this output it is expected that the technician Herrlich keep the 4-2-3-1 system that has been used regularly. Of course, do not rule out that you can make some variants in the starting lineup. The logic indicates that Bailey, Volland, Brandt and Alario start as men of reference when attacking.
There are no previous duels between Bulgarians and Germans, this being the first game that Ludogorets and Bayer Leverkusen will play in their history.
