Bayer Leverkusen vs Qarabag Prediction & Betting Tips (14 March)

Bayer Leverkusen came very close to the correctional facility last Thursday. Still undefeated in all competitions, the German club almost suffered its first setback of the season before finally equalizing in the very last moments of the game to bring home a draw from their perilous trip to Azerbaijan 2-2. During the group stage, this team outclassed the debates by finishing very well at the top of their group ahead of Qarabag, Molde and Hacken with 18 points taken out of 18. Also very efficient in the championship, Xabi Alonso's men got off to a good start to win the first title in their history in the Bundesliga since they are 10 units ahead of Bayern Munich after their new victory against Wolfsburg last weekend 2-0. Before that, the Usine 11 already had 9 victories in 10 matches. Qarabag therefore believed they would achieve the feat in the first leg by being the first team to bring down Bayer Leverkusen in all competitions.

But ultimately, the visitors were unable to prevent the German qualification in the last moments of the game and they therefore finally conceded a 2-2 draw which risks being insufficient before the return. Because in the groups, the Azerbaijanis were no match for their trip to the BayArena 5-1. In their own championship, the capital's players are ahead of the competition by being 24 units ahead of their first pursuer. They also remain on 2 demonstrations carried out against Qabala 0-4 and Neftchi 1-4 and they continued against Zira 3-1 last weekend.

Still a little tight, serial scorer Boniface, injured in the groin, will not be operational for this return match. Midfielder Arthur, who is his replacement, must also give up. Otherwise, Xabi Alonso can still count on the services of his formidable fullbacks Grimaldo (9 goals, 8 assists in the Bundesliga), and Frimpong (8 goals, 6 assists) as well as his midfielders Xhaka, Hofmann (5 goals, 5 assists ) and Wirtz (6 goals, 10 assists) and on the Nigerian Tella (5 goals, 1 assist). Last week, it was the returning Schick (3 goals) who allowed his team to get back on track after added time. Suspended during the first round, midfielder Julio Romao and defender Cafarquliyev will be allowed again to take this meeting.

Injured at the end of the game, former Lyon and Lille player Benzia (9 goals in the league) and center forward Juninho Vieira (15 goals in the league), both scorers last week, are uncertain. The absence of one of its two men would be a big blow for this team. On the other hand, the former Lensois Zoubir (6 goals in the league this season), the Frenchman Keyta (6 pawns), the striker Andrade (also 7 goals), the interesting Bayramov (7 goals in the league) and the young local talent Akhundzade (5 goals) should make the trip to Germany like the former Rennais and Monegasque Diakhaby (5 goals).
