Betting tips for Bayer Leverkusen vs Zurich 08.11.2018

Bayer Leverkusen and FC Zurich face each other on BayArena on Thursday to challenge for Group A of the Europa League. The home side seem to continue their uneven moment, and after two resounding results they once again succumbed to a heavy defeat, this time at the hands of Hoffenhiem. On the other side come the FC Zurich who lead this group after a surprising victory over the Germans last month.

Bayer Leverkusen came in second with 6 points, two wins and one defeat, with two wins and one loss, with 9 goals scored and 7 goals conceded. Leverkusen continues with the same irregular shape it has presented in recent years, or is 8 or 80, alternating constantly between big wins and great performances and unexpected defeats and disappointing performances. The Lions won out at Ludogorets Razgrad (2-3) and in the AEK reception at Larnaca (4-2), but lost at home to this Zurich FC (3-2). The defeat against this Swiss team was Leverkusen's third consecutive game without a win in all competitions, which put coach Heiko Herrlich's place at risk.

Since then the team surprised in the following two games, thrashed at home to Werder Bremen by 2-6, and Bremen did not lose 17 consecutive games at home, and went to Borussia M'gladbach at Borussia Park 0- 5, for the German Cup. Things seemed to be on the right track again, but it was then that the Lions again disappointed, losing at the reception to Hoffenheim by 1-4. Bayer Leverkusen is a very irregular team, has a very competent attack, but also has a very disorganized defense. In addition, this has been a season when the team is happier out of doors than in their domains.


 FC Zurich, in turn, is in 1st place with 9 points, the result of 3 wins, and with 5 goals scored and 2 goals conceded. The Swiss are 100% winners in the grouping, started by winning at AEK Larnaca's home (0-1) and at the reception to Ludogorets Razgrad (1-0), and then at the reception to this Bayer Leverkusen (3-2).

This last game against the Germans was a great victory for the Swiss team, who was losing on two occasions (0-1 and 1-2) and ended up getting around to the result and come out on top. The team has gone through a peculiar moment, winning 3 of the last 6 consecutive games in all competitions, losing only 1, but registering a total of 30 goals, 18 scored and 12 conceded. A win here leaves the Swiss qualified to the next stage of the competition, and they are one point away from being able to do as group leaders.
