Nice hosts Bayer Leverkusen in round 5 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, December 3rd at Allianz Riviera (Nice)
According to predictions, Nice had to fight with Bayer and Slavia Prague for progress from the group. Only four rounds have passed, but we can already state the fact that the Eaglets lost this fight. They have only three points, while two main competitors have already gained nine points. However, what kind of playoffs can we talk about if the bets on the defeat of Nice were correct in three out of four matches in this Europa League? For all the time, they managed to achieve one home victory over the same outsider, Israeli Hapoel. Nevertheless, the main thing was that the French failed in matches with the main competitors.

As we said above, Bayer is fighting with Slavia for first place in the group and a potentially weaker opponent in the playoffs. Leverkusen is in a worse position because it lost in the first meeting with the team from Prague, and if the points are equal, the results of head-to-head matches will be decisive. However, there will still be a home game with the Czechs. Bayer, he has been flawless in matches with outsiders Nice and Hapoel - all three matches have ended in victories with a total score of 15:6. Let’s note that even though Leverkusen allowed their opponents to score, it responded with at least four goals in each game.
Bayer scored six goals in the first match against Nice, and it will probably score a couple now. Leverkusen has no problems with attacking against such clubs, and the French have obvious defensive problems. Beyond that, the hosts are not motivated from a tournament point of view, and Bayer is fighting for first place in the group with Slavia. We think the visitors will probably score at least twice.
Prediction for the match: Bayer Leverkusen to score over 1.5 goals
