Why Bet on Bayer Leverkusen? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is not the same Bayer Leverkusen that won the league two years ago or finished runners-up last year. They lost several key players, their coach, and it seems they may have also lost their identity.

In their opener, they managed to take a point from Denmark after drawing 2-2 with Kobenhavn, <\/strong>thanks to goals from Alejandro Grimaldo in the 82nd minute and an own goal from Pantelis Hatzidiakos in the 90+1\u2019.

After that, they drew with Borussia Monchengladbach (1-1) and beat St. Pauli (1-3). In the Champions League<\/a>, they sit in 17th place, while in the Bundesliga, they are sixth with eight out of 15 points.<\/strong>

A piece of bad news for coach Kasper Hjulmand is the number of important injured players. Patrik Schick, Exequiel Palacios, and Martin Terrier will be unavailable, while Robert Andrich, Ezequiel Fern\u00e1ndez, and Nathan Tella are doubtful. Argentine forward Alejo Sarco is away at the U-20 World Cup, while Claudio Echeverri was not released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on PSV? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For PSV, things started off very badly. They were stunned at home by Union Saint-Gilloise and lost 1-3, with Ruben van Bommel scoring the only goal in the 90th minute. <\/strong>

In the league, they later drew with Ajax (2-2), also at home, and beat Excelsior 1-2, placing them second, three points behind Feyenoord.<\/strong>

In last season\u2019s Champions League, their away form wasn\u2019t great. In the group stage, they managed one win, one draw, and two losses, while in the knockout rounds, they lost one away match and drew the other\u2014though they had already been crushed 1-7 at home in the first leg.

Peter Bosz\u2019s situation is even worse than Hjulmand\u2019s. Ruben van Bommel, Ricardo Pepi, Alassane Pl\u00e9a, Kiliann Sildillia, and Myron Boadu are all out, while Anass Salah-Eddine and Sergi\u00f1o Dest are doubtful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Betting Analysis: Bayer Leverkusen vs. PSV <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fact that PSV lost at home against a not-so-strong opponent speaks very poorly of them. While Bayer Leverkusen isn\u2019t the same team from recent seasons, we still believe they have more weapons to beat this rival, plus the support of a strong home crowd. The Germans should take all three points.

The numbers at <\/strong>Gambyl Exchange<\/a> favor Bayer Leverkusen with a Moneyline of +113, while PSV sit at +310, and a draw is priced at +315. <\/strong>

These two teams faced each other twice in the 1994-95 UEFA Cup, in the first knockout round. Bayer won the first leg in Germany 5-4, and then drew 0-0 in the second leg in the Netherlands. In that first match, Ulf Kirsten scored a hat-trick for the Germans, while Ronaldo netted three goals for the Dutch side.

Go for a win for Bayer Leverkusen. If you bet $100 at -113, you will gain $89 for a total payout of $189. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
