Slavia Prague vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
Bayer Leverkusen was quite upset on the first day of play. Are the Germans on target again on Thursday, in their away match against Slavia Prague?
Slavia Prague:
Slavia Prague started the series of six group matches last week with a loss. On a visit to the Israeli Hapoel Beer Sheva, Slavia went down 3-1. That defeat was unnecessary, since the Czechs had a preponderance in Israel. However, Slavia did not have a good answer to the very efficient home team.
The club from the Czech capital also has good recent memories of the Europa League. Two seasons ago, Slavia made it through to the quarter-finals, after Sevilla was beaten in the eighth finals after a real thriller. In the end, the club from Prague had to recognize its superior in later winner Chelsea FC. The necessary players of the team from that time are still under contract. The trainer at the time – Jindich Trpisovsky – is also still there.
Bayer Leverkusen:
Bayer Leverkusen struggled to score goals until last Thursday this season. In the home game against OGC Nice, however, everything suddenly fell into place. Die Werkself managed to score no less than six times against the French, in a match that ended 6-2. Last Monday Bayer continued that good form, in the Bundesliga match against FC Augsburg. In the BayArena, the visitors were defeated 3-1, putting Leverkusen in the top four of the rankings.
“I am very satisfied with this performance,” said Peter Bosz after Monday’s game. “We deservedly won against a well-organized team.” As a precaution, Bosz took striker Lucas Alario to the side prematurely, also because the other center striker, Patrik Schick, is injured. Normally Bosz changes his team in a few positions, compared to the match against Augsburg. The game with SC Freiburg awaits on Sunday.
