Liverpool v Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips [5 November 2024]

Liverpool are on a mission to stay top of the league phase of the UEFA Champions League. They will attain that with a win at home against German champions Bayer Leverkusen who have a trip to Anfield. Read along as we preview the match and offer a prediction. 

Liverpool are one of only two teams with perfect starts to the Champions League. Their 1-0 win at Leipzig on Match Day 3 ensured their fine run against German sides continued. In 43 matches against Bundesliga sides, Liverpool have claimed 23 wins. 

When facing German teams at Anfield, Liverpool are unbeaten in the 19 matches so far. 

Bayer Leverkusen will be worried about the record they are walking into. Their Manager Xabi Alonso will be fired up to beat his former team and to improve Leverkusen’s record against English sides.

In the team’s 11 away matches in England, the German champions lost seven times. Improving such a record looks bleaker seeing that they have two wins only in 10 away Champions League matches. All this while Liverpool have five straight wins at home. 

Coming into this match, Leverkusen drew 0-0 with Stuttgart in what will pass as an improvement in defence, having largely struggled before.

Bayer Leverkusen are struggling to cope with the high standards they set last season. So far, they are hitting below those highs and against Liverpool they will have another tough outing. It won’t help a lot that their away run in the Champions League isn’t great.

Meanwhile, they play at Anfield, against a team that doesn’t lose a lot there. Liverpool have also had a dominant run at home to German clubs and will want to add this game to their list. Our prediction for Liverpool v Bayer Leverkusen is for Liverpool to win.
