Nice vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
With one and a half legs, Bayer Leverkusen is already in the knockout round of the Europa League. On Thursday evening, mathematical progress should be sealed. All you need is one point in the away game on the French Côte d’Azur. Strictly speaking, the Bundesliga team could even afford a defeat by four goals difference, provided that the Ligue 1 club does not score seven (!) Goals.
In other words: Before the duel between Nice and Leverkusen, a prognosis that coach Peter Bosz’s team will reach the next round must be made very sure. Nevertheless, the Werkself do not want to show any nakedness and, at best, win the group. It’s also about preserving the good shape of the last few weeks.
The fact that the odds on the away win between Nice and Leverkusen still do not contain the most attractive value in our opinion is primarily due to the tense personnel situation in the Rhineland region. Many professionals will not even take the trip to France. Like last time in the league, the bench will remain orphaned in some places.
Against this background and the fact that even the boldest professional optimists on the side of the home side no longer believe in the sensation, we expect a lively exchange of blows without much tact. Consequently, it makes sense to risk a tip on more than two goals in the game in the game between Nice and Leverkusen. In memory of. The first leg in the BayArena ended 6-2 for the current third-placed player in the Bundesliga.
Nice:
Patrick Vieira’s air as coach of OGC Nice is getting thinner. The team of the former French national player has not yet been able to live up to its own expectations on the national or international stage. In Ligue 1, there have already been four defeats in eleven games. As eleventh in the ranking, the gap to the European places is already six points. They also suffered a 3-1 defeat at home against Dijon at the weekend.
But the performance so far in the Europa League is almost even more disappointing. After four days of play, the ambitious south-eastern French have just added three points. The decisive matches against Slavia Prague (2: 3, 1: 3) and Leverkusen (2: 6) were clearly lost. Potential progress is only possible mathematically, but no longer realistic.
With six points behind, Nice would need a win at home against Leverkusen on Thursday by five goals to win the direct comparison. In addition, the Werkself would have to lose to Slavia Prague at home on the last match day and the Red-Blacks would win their away game at Hapoel Beer Sheva. We can therefore justifiably claim that the Vieira-Elf only plays for the “Golden Pineapple” and will not have any hopes for the next round.
Not least because of this, we expect one or two hits in the direct duel at the Stade de Nice. The French will decently leave the group phase in the last home game and at the same time want to recharge their batteries for their national tasks. Because the defensive was anything but solid with twelve goals conceded in four games, but “Les Aiglons” celebrated at least one goal in all four matches, a prognosis for the over 2.5 or the “Both” is available between Nice and Leverkusen teams to score “definitely.
Leverkusen:
Even after nine match days, Bayer Leverkusen are still unbeaten in the Bundesliga. Nevertheless, last Sunday’s 0-0 win against Hertha BSC was rather a disappointment, especially since the Werkself could have temporarily jumped past RB Leipzig to second place with a win. Nevertheless, the team of coach Peter Bosz is in third place and is only three points behind the leaders from Munich.
In the Europa League, the Rhinelander can also plan with the second round. Thanks to three wins in the first four match days and the mentioned 6-2 success in the first leg against Nice, Amiri, Demirbay and Co. can no longer make it into the round of 32.
Because the game on Thursday definitely cannot lead to a preliminary decision about first place in the group, but the group winner will definitely be determined in the direct duel between Slavia Prague and Bayer Leverkusen in the coming week, we think it is extremely likely that Peter Bosz will be Team will be whirled up.
The Dutch coach is worried about the certain failures of Arias, Aranguiz, Palacios, Paulinho or S. Bender. There are also question marks behind the operations of Bellarabi, Tapsoba, Amiri and Alario. Mitchell Weiser is not eligible to play in the Europa League. While only four field players sat on the bench at the weekend, the line-up on Thursday shouldn’t be much larger.
Coupled with the fact that the Werkself have the best offensive in the current competition with 14 goals, but at the same time are waiting for the first clean sheet on the international stage, the odds between Nice and Leverkusen should be kept in view for at least three goals.
