Bayer Leverkusen vs Benfica Pickswise Expert Predictions

Money line Pick
Bayer Leverkusen Win(+300)

Benfica have not been able to meet the required level in this season’s Champions League and could fall to a 4th straight league-phase defeat when Bayer Leverkusen visit Estadio da Luz on Wednesday. Jose Mourinho took over a couple of days after their embarrassing 3-2 home defeat to Qarabag and has not been able to turn their ailing fortunes around in subsequent 1-0 and 3-0 defeats against Chelsea and Newcastle. However, Benfica have won 3 domestic games in a row without conceding and will not make it easy for Leverkusen to bag their first European win of the campaign. Kasper Hjulmand’s men scraped out draws against Copenhagen and PSV Eindhoven in their first 2 games before a humiliating 7-2 home defeat against PSG put them in their place.

Neither team looks likely to go far in this season’s competition, but Leverkusen at least have some impressive attacking players – including ex-Benfica star Alex Grimaldo. He has scored 7 and assisted 4 goals in 13 appearances this season after being pushed into an attacking midfield role. With Patrick Schick potentially back to lead the line and Grimaldo providing the bullets, Leverkusen look well-equipped to score against a very one-paced Benfica side. Given the odds, the value looks to be with the visitors to pile on more Champions League misery for Mourinho.
