FC Porto vs Bayer Leverkusen
FC Porto only narrowly lost when appearing at Bayer Leverkusen headquarters in the first round of the UEL 32 game. They changed roles as host to hold a match at the Estadio do Dragao. Goal deficit will try to be pursued through the support of supporters.
FC Porto appeared as Bayer Leverkusen guests a week ago and had to surrender 2-1 with goals from Lucas Alario (29 ‘) and Kai Haverts’ penalty (57′). However, The Dragons tactic is considered good because it is able to offset the chances of the host with 7 shots on target versus 6 despite only controlling 34% possession.
Back at do Dragao, FC Porto should be able to appear more confident armed with four consecutive wins against Gil Vicente (2-1), Benfica (3-2), Academica Viseu (3-0), and Portimonense (1-0). This graph is also one of the reasons why they still occupy the position of runners-up Primeira League of Portugal to this day.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen is considered to be an interesting opponent because it only lost once in the last four away matches, namely against Hoffenheim (2-1), while the rest was won, namely against Mainz 05 (0-1), Paderborn (1- 4), and Union Berlin (2-3). However, they were asked to play more patiently after receiving two red cards during this period.
The urge became louder because this would be the first visit to Dragao. As a resident of the top five Bundesliga zones, Die Werkself is obliged to maintain the good name of the competition, especially if only requires a draw to qualify.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.64
