Bayer Leverkusen vs AC Milan Predictions

Bayern Leverkusen have picked up where they left last season and look in great shape. Milan, who are also playing well, will make this a good contest. However, on home soil I'm backing the German club to win.

Bayer Leverkusen have won 5 of their last 7 matches.
AC Milan have lost 3 of their last 5 matches (Champions League).

Head to Head

This is going to be the first head to head match between Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan.

Bayer Leverkusen Form

Bayer Leverkusen earned a commanding 4-0 victory against Feyenoord in their Champions League opening match two weeks ago, Florian Wirtz scoring a brace, Alex Grimaldo and Timon Wellenreuther (own goal) also on the scoresheet.

The reigning German champions battled against red-hot Bayern Munich last weekend at Allianz Arena and got away with a 1-1 draw, Robert Andrich finding the net in the first half.

Earlier this month, Xabi Alonso’s side claimed two Bundesliga victories against Wolfsburg 4-3 and Hoffenheim 4-1. They are currently 4th on the table with ten points from five matches, two less than the leaders Frankfurt.

Bayer Leverkusen Injuries & Team News

There are no reported injuries or suspensions for Bayer Leverkusen.

AC Milan Form

AC Milan had a disappointing start to the Champions League group stage, suffering a 3-1 home loss to Liverpool two weeks ago despite gaining an early lead through Christian Pulisic.

Rossoneri bounced back in style though, earning back to back victories in Serie A against Inter Milan 2-1 and Lecce 3-0 last weekend, Pulisic appearing on the scoresheet on both occasions.

Paulo Fonseca’s side is currently sitting in 3rd place on the Serie A table with 11 points from six matches, two less than the current leaders Napoli.

AC Milan Injuries & Team News

Davide Calabria is struggling with minor muscle injury and is tagged as doubtful, so Emerson Royal could start.

Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi and Marto Sportiello are ruled out due to injuries.

Verdict

Bayer Leverkusen v AC Milan

AC Milan are in solid form right now, but won just one of their last six UCL away days. Bayer Leverkusen’s recent performances were impressive, so I will back them to keep the momentum going and claim points against Rossoneri.
