Porto – Bayer Leverkusen, Europa League Prediction

Porto did not play badly and scored such an important away goal against Bayer Leverkusen in last game. The Dragons have a very busy schedule as they fight for the title in Portugal, so they only won 1-0 in last match at home to Portimonense, a rather tortured victory at the end of the match, but extremely valuable. Porto did not perform very well in the Europa League in their last tournament appearances.

Bayer Leverkusen will certainly try to go a long way in the Europa League, and that was showed with their play and approach in the first game. German side played with almost all of their first team players. They also need a rotation because they can’t play with the same lineup for every three days and the question here is how serious the width of Peter Bosz is. Leverkusen have their history in European tournaments and this also has an impact sometimes.

 Expert view : Bayer Leverkusen score many goals. They are in top form with 5 consecutive wins and a total of 8 success in the last 9 matches. Their only loss came, oddly or not, on the pitch of Hoffenheim by 1-2. Porto have to go out to win because they lose 1-2 in the first match. We think that the score from the first match will be repeated here and the two teams will score. The Germans are quite an attacking team, which is the main reason why we expect an open game. Prediction – BTTS at 1.60.
