Feyenoord vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

 by Nella Wagah in Champions League Predictions

German champions Bayer Leverkusen mark their return to the Champions League with an away match at Feyenoord to start them off in the league phase. In regards to the two teams’ recent form and profiles, bookies’ predictions back Die Werkself to beat De club van het volk. We will break down the competing teams’ stats and offer a prediction on the match.

In this game set for the Feijenoord Stadium in Rotterdam, on Thursday 19 September, the hosts are eyeing their second win of the season. This clash also marks the start of their second straight Champions League appearance at this stage. The visitors have a higher pedigree, though they missed last season’s edition.

Their journey in Europe in 2023/24, memorable as it was, ended in defeat, losing 3-0 to Atalanta in the Europa League final. The Germans aren’t regulars in the Champions League, and this marks their third appearance in the last eight seasons. In 2022/23, they finished third in their group and dropped to the Europa League.

Feyenoord - Bayer Leverkusen: Form Analysis

Feyenoord’s season has so far been inconsistent but recent history against German teams offers a ray of hope. The last time they faced a Bundesliga side, they beat Union Berlin home and away in the 2021/22 Conference League.

Those wins pushed their record against German sides to six undefeated, winning five. The 3-1 home win in that series made it three straight wins when hosting German opposition.

The Dutch side has, however, struggled a bit after Arne Slot’s departure to take up the role at Liverpool. They started the season with a win on penalties against PSV in the Super Cup, a match which ended 4-4. That would be the first of four draws in five matches and they have no clean sheet in all the games. Most recently, they lost a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 away to Groningen.

Ahead of this game, Feyenoord are on a good run against Bundesliga teams.

Bayer Leverkusen get to face a Dutch club for the first time since 1994/95 and this will be the 10th. In the previous nine, they won three, drew three and lost as many.

When playing away to an Eredivisie side, the best they did were three draws and the Germans will hope for better this time. On the brighter side, they’ve never lost away to a Dutch side.

After reaching the final of the Europa League last season, expectations are high for Leverkusen this term. The one barrier they’ll want to break is that they haven't reached the Champions League knockouts since 2016/17.

A loss in their opening five matches this season means Leverkusen may fail to at least replicate last season’s form. Coming into this game, though, they recovered from the 3-2 loss to Leipzig with a resounding 4-1 away win at Hoffenheim. All of Leverkusen’s three wins this season came in away matches.

Feyenoord & Bayer Leverkusen Squad Analysis

Brazilian forward Igor Paixao scored his second goal of the season in the 2-2 draw with Groningen. With that, he joined Santiago Gimenez as the team’s leading scorers and might have earned the right to a sixth straight start.

Brian Priske will also have Gernot Trauner to count on after coming through the second half unscathed on his return from a thigh injury.

However, there will be no places in the team for Calvin Stengs and Hugo Bueno, who have knee and thigh injuries respectively.

Based on recent form, Santiago Gimenez and Florian Wirtz will be the most highlighted players in attack.

Bayer Leverkusen will go into this game with hopes in their attack placed on the in-form Florian Wirtz. He has already netted three times in as many matches and the Bundesliga champions will want to reap from his rich run.

There is also some good news in midfielder Robert Andrich signing a contract extension at the club.

The other side of the news is that Argentine Exequiel Palacios may still be out as he recovers from a knee injury.

Our Feyenoord vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

If Bayer Leverkusen’s impressive form last season was the yardstick, then it would suffice to say this term they are struggling. The German champions have already tasted defeat in the second month of action. There’s one weakness that has been consistent with Leverkusen – the difficulty to keep clean sheets. It was seen last season and has been noted this term too.

Here they face a team with a similar issue and Leverkusen will want to take advantage. While Feyenoord are struggling defensively, there’s little fault that can be apportioned to their attack. Our prediction for Feyenoord v Bayer Leverkusen is for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.

Feyenoord vs Bayer Leverkusen - Other Interesting Predictions

Draw

Feyenoord will come into this game looking to defend their unbeaten start to the season. While at it, they’ll want a win after managing just one so far in the campaign.

Four of their opening five matches ended in draws and they’ll hope home support drives them to a win.

Leverkusen have three wins in five but haven't been quite convincing. Though they won three of four away matches, this one will be tough, and may only target avoiding defeat. With that, our second prediction is for this game to end in a draw.
