Bayer Leverkusen vs Sparta Prague Prediction & Betting Tips (29 January)

The series of 12 consecutive victories ended for Leverkusen last week against Atlético for the previous day of the Champions League 2-1. Despite this defeat, the Germans remain in the running for a place in the top 8. This good run has also allowed them to come back to just 4 points behind Bayern in the Bundesliga, notably thanks to recent successes against Dortmund 2-3 , Mainz 1- 0 and Monchengladbach 3-1 . This weekend, there is a difficult match to negotiate against Leipzig before this last day of C1. The Czech championship is on break and Sparta has not managed to keep up with Slavia, leader, nor Plzen second since 6 points separate this team from the second, and 13 points with the leader.

.. Moreover, Prague ended the year 2024 with a success against Jablonec 2-1, and has since played only two friendlies in 2025 for two successes against Malmo and Bodo/Glimt. 29th in the Champions League, the matter already seems to be over even before the last day against Leverkusen since the Czechs lost on the last day against Inter 0-1 . 

After a long injury, striker Boniface recently returned and will be available. On the other hand, the French-speaking Adli, Belocian and Terrier will not be restored and will miss this match. Hincapie received a red card against Atlético and will also be absent. Xabi Alonso, on the other hand, will be able to count on his strong men, notably Tah and Tapsoba behind, the pistons Grimaldo and Frimpong who are always just as precious, and the midfielder which rotates between Xhaka, Palacios and Andrich most of the time. Up front, the most decisive remain Wirtz (14 goals, 10 assists TCC) and Schick (15 goals) who has been gaining momentum in recent matches. The list of absentees is quite long for Sparta, but it is notably because of the non -inscriptions of Andersen, Uchenna, Kuchta and Sevinski.

Apart from that, Rrahmani will probably have returned from his injury, which is not the case for Garcia, Preciado and Tuci. As for the boys to follow, we find Olatunji (6 goals) and Krasniqi (3 goals) but also the Finnish Kairinen, already the author of 2 goals in the competition. The key player still remains Haraslin, a former Serie A player. His return from injury will be good.
