Man United vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction and Champions League Tips

Tuesday evening sees David Moyes finally get his chance in the Champions League group stages when Manchester United play Bayern Munich.

Old Trafford plays host as an in-form Bayer Leverkusen face Manchester United. Ex-Liverpool defender and cult hero Sami Hypia is Leverkusen’s current manager and that will add spice to what already promises to be a high-octane match.

Moyes has flirted with Champions league football in the past and has threatened several times with Everton. The closest being in 2005/2006 where Villarreal controversially knocked them out in the qualifying rounds. But 8 years later and at the helm of a new club, Moyes will be keen to make an impact in Europe and William Hill are offering 4/5 if you fancy them to hit the ground running. The draw can be found at 14/5 (Sky Bet) and an away win is best price of 9/2 (Ladbrokes).

The more I read into this game the harder it becomes to predict, while many will go for a home win. But Bayer Leverkusen, a side that are currently third in the Bundesliga and play attractive football, should prove to be no pushover. The stats cancel each other out and scream draw. Manchester United are winless in their last four European outings and have lost their last two at Old Trafford. On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen haven’t won away in the Champions League for 12 games, a run stretching all the way back to 2002. They also haven’t won on English soil in seven previous attempts. Times have changed since then and with both clubs looking for a positive result I can see middle ground in a score draw. Ladbrokes offer the best price for both 1-1 and 2-2, which are 8/1 and 18/1 respectively.

Both clubs are rich in attacking players and both clubs share strikers that are in goal scoring form, in Manchester United’s Robin van Persie and Bayer Leverkusen’s Stefan Kießling.  Lars bender and Wayne Rooney have an eye for a pass and for a goal. Out of those four players only Lars Bender failed to score at the weekend and Stefan grabbed a brace, which helped Leverkusen to a convincing 3-1 win. So for my next tip I will recommend both teams to score, which you can grab at 3\4 with Ladbrokes.
