Bayer Leverkusen hosts Betis in round 4 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 4th at BayArena (Leverkusen)
Bayer Leverkusen has stalled lately. In five previous matches in all tournaments, the Red-Blacks could not gain a single victory: three defeats and two draws. It is noteworthy that one of the draws was recorded precisely in the Europa League (1-1 against Betis). In the last round of the Bundesliga, Gerardo Seoane's charges lost to Wolfsburg at home with a score of 0-2. After that loss, Bayer Leverkusen dropped to 4th place in the standings. In the Europa League group, the Red-Blacks have already scored seven goals and conceded only twice. The team's top scorer in the European arena is Florian Wirtz (two goals). In the last 13 home games in the Europa League, Leverkusen gained nine victories and two draws and suffered only one defeat.

Like Bayer, Betis lost in the last match of the Spanish LaLiga. Pellegrini's wards were hammered by Atletico Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano (3-0). But in the Europa League, the Green-and-Whites are doing quite well. After three rounds, they have seven points scored (two wins and one draw). The goal difference is 8-5. All three matches ended with an exchange of goals scored. In two cases, the sides scored over 2.5 goals. At the moment, Betis has an unbeaten streak in the Europa League, which has already seven matches (four victories and three draws). In the previous five games, the Andalusians invariably aggrieved the opponents’ goalkeepers.
Both teams have lost their last matches in local championships. Perhaps it was a big blow for some, but for others it was an additional motivation to show even better football. Bookmakers give preference to the Germans. I think they really have a higher chance of winning. First, the factor of the home pitch is on their side. Secondly, Seoane's team shows much more intense football than Betis. I think it makes sense to take a risk and bet on the home team to win.
Prediction for the match: Bayer Leverkusen to win
