Bayer Leverkusen is in 1st place in Group G (six points after two rounds). The Red-Blacks beat Ferencvaros at home (2-1) and hammered Celtic away (0-4). The Germans have looked strong in the UEL and Bundesliga. Bayer Leverkusen had a 5-match winning streak in all tournaments, and Seaone's men kept a clean sheet three times in a row. On October 17, Bayer's winning stride was interrupted in the home game against Bayern Munich (1-5). The Bavarians did not spare a competitor for leadership in the German championship and scored five unanswered goals by the 37th minute. The home team was content with a consolation goal by Patrick Schick in the 2nd half.
The teams from Sevilla and Leverkusen have not previously crossed paths in European competitions. In the match for the leadership in Group G, it is difficult to single out a clear favorite. Betis will play at home, while Bayer has a slight advantage in terms of players. Bets on production look more interesting. In the previous rounds, these teams showed that they tend to play offensive football. In all four confrontations, at least three goals were scored. A head-to-head match will also be rich in goals. Indirectly, this is evidenced by the results of Bayer Leverkusen. The matches with the participation of Red-Blacks are remarkable for their spectacularity: only one out of nine games ended with less than three goals scored, and seven matches pleased the fans with at least four goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
