First of all, happy to read again and I hope that both you and yours are well. We finally have sport back and little by little we are recovering “normality”. Let’s see if we can start this reunion on the right foot.
Let us remember that all auctions are valid: rejected, out, at the post, on goal, goals … Anything goes for us with a minimum intention.
The first reason is the importance of this match for Leverkusen. And is that the team is currently in 5th place, which would be a real failure, since it would be out of the Champions League. In addition, the rival can not be more propitious, a Schalke in free fall that accumulates 13 games without knowing the victory. Not to mention the terrible image it is leaving.
As for the numbers, the Leverkusen finishes 14.8 times on average per match, a figure well above the 13 that is enough to give us the green. For its part, Schalke receives 13.47 shots per game, which is also sufficient and much more positive, since it includes all matches, even against teams with much lower potential than Leverkusen.
For this game I do not expect anything other than Bayer pressing well up and making it difficult for the ball to come out which is costing Schalke so much. It goes without saying that it will be much more beneficial for our interests if the Leverkusen does not get ahead on the scoreboard or is slow to do so. But even so, I would not rule out green because they cannot be trusted and they have to go to close the game as soon as possible to avoid scares.
PREDICTION: Bayer Leverkusen to win @ 1,52
