Bayer Leverkusen did an amazing last season in Bundesliga ending in the 3rd position and this explains why their odds are very low in some games. They started the Champions League Group stage with a defeat at home against Brugge, they are also doing a terrible domestic league with only 4 points in 6 games. The pressure is really high on them, the coach Gerardo Seoane is already being very contested and if I am pretty sure that the atmosphere in the dressing room is not the best. Bayer have so many absences for this game, the winger Bellarabi, Andrey Lunev, Amine Adli and their best player Wirtz is also injured. They will need to attack a lot and be very offensive as they really need to win this game, especially the coach knows that as if they fail to miss probably he can get sacked.

Probable line-up: Hradecky; Kossounou - Tah - Hincapie - Bakker; Aranguiz - Andrich - Frimpong - Diaby - Hudson Odoi; Patrick Shick.

Atletico Madrid are not the same team that they were in the past with Diego Costa, Griezmann, Godin, Filipe Luis, Koke, Saul when they were champions of the league and went 2 times to the final of UEFA Champions League, but they keep being one of the most competitive teams in Europe. It's still very hard to beat them, especially when the teams do not know how to press them. The team is very motivated after the clear victory by 4-1 over Celta de Vigo and by the win of the 1st week of Champions League against Porto with the 3 goals of match being score in the 90+ minutes. They would be much better if Antoine Griezmann could play the whole games, but there is that history on his contract that he cannot play more than 30 minutes and if he does Atletico Madrid need to pay 40 Million Euros to Barcelona to buy him. Simeone is trying to adapt a bit to the new football and is buying more technical skilled players, the main one was Joao Felix when they bought him almost 3 years ago for 126 Million Euros. He is an amazing talent of Portugal, he plays really well with both feet, amazing technique and even really strong with the head. For this game I expect Leverkusen trying as they really need to assume the game, but to their bad moment of confidence losing some balls by missing easy passes and Atletico Madrid with their deadlies counters scoring more than 1 goal for sure. There are some news saying that Gimenez and Oblak are in doubt for this game, but I remember last week everyone saying the same before the game against Porto and Oblak started in the starting XI and did a very good game saving Atletico many times.

Probable line-up: Oblak; Hermoso - Witsel - Reinildo; Molina - Llorente - Koke - Rodrigo de Paul - Carrasco; Alvaro Morata and Joao Felix.

勒沃库森上赛季在德甲联赛中表现出色，最终排名第三，这也解释了为什么他们在某些比赛中的赔率很低。他们在欧冠小组赛的第一场比赛就是在主场输给布鲁日，他们在国内联赛的表现也很糟糕，6场比赛只拿到4分。压力对他们来说真的很大，教练杰拉尔多·西安已经很有争议了，我很确定更衣室的气氛不是最好的。这场比赛拜耳有很多人缺席，边锋贝拉比，安德烈·鲁内夫，阿明·阿德里和他们最好的球员维尔茨也受伤了。他们需要更多的进攻和进攻，因为他们真的需要赢得这场比赛，特别是教练知道如果他们没有失误，他可能会被解雇。

马竞已经不是以前的马竞了，那时他们有迭戈·科斯塔、格列兹曼、戈丁、菲利佩·路易斯、科克、索尔，他们是联赛冠军，2次闯入欧冠决赛，但他们一直是欧洲最具竞争力的球队之一。要打败他们仍然非常困难，特别是当球队不知道如何压制他们的时候。球队在4-1大胜维戈塞尔塔和欧冠第一周战胜波尔图后士气高涨，比赛中有3球都是在90多分钟内打进的。如果格列兹曼能打满整场比赛，他们会好得多，但他的合同上有一个历史记录，他不能踢超过30分钟，如果他能做到，马竞需要向巴塞罗那支付4000万欧元来买他。西蒙尼正在努力适应新的足球，并正在购买更多技术熟练的球员，其中主要的一个是约3年前他们以1.26亿欧元买下的若昂-菲利克斯。他是葡萄牙的天才球员，他的双脚踢得非常好，技术非常棒，甚至头部也非常强壮。对于这场比赛，我预计勒沃库森会努力，因为他们真的需要承担比赛，但他们的信心糟糕的时刻失去了一些球，错过了轻松的传球，马竞的致命反击肯定超过1球。有消息说希门尼斯和奥布拉克在本场比赛中能否上场仍有疑问，但我记得上周对阵波尔图之前大家都这么说，奥布拉克在首发阵容中首发，并且多次出色地拯救了马竞。
