Coming into this Champions League match against Red Bull Salzburg, Bayer Leverkusen is expected to win, given the strong form in both European and domestic competitions. However, a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Liverpool in the last Champions League outing still sees Leverkusen on course for playoff qualification with seven points from four group matches. At home, the Werkself have been pretty formidable in European competitions, winning six and drawing one of their last seven home matches. Salzburg, meanwhile, aren't having things all their own way. They lie in 30th position in the Champions League table with a paltry three points from four matches. The Austrian team has only won once in their last nine Champions League games; they are also on a rather poor sequence in the domestic championship, where they've failed to score in three of their last four Austrian Bundesliga matches. Florian Wirtz was again on target, bringing his season's total in the Champions League group stage to three. Patrik Schick and Granit Xhaka give experience and class to a side that has scored 37 goals in European competitions since the start of last season. Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last seven European home matches, making the BayArena something of a fortress. Salzburg has lost three of their four group matches this season, scoring just three goals while conceding nine. Their squad has an average age of 22 years, hence lacking experience which such high-stake matches require. This will be a key reason for a win, therefore, I expect a clear win here!
在欧冠对阵萨尔茨堡红牛的比赛中,勒沃库森有望获胜,因为他们在欧冠和国内比赛中都表现出色。然而,在上一场欧冠比赛中0 - 4惨败利物浦,勒沃库森仍然以四场小组赛积7分的成绩向季后赛资格迈进。在主场,工人队在欧洲比赛中表现得相当出色,最近7场主场比赛6胜1平。与此同时,萨尔茨堡并没有完全按照自己的方式行事。他们在欧冠积分榜上仅排在第30位,四场比赛只得到微不足道的三分。奥地利队在最近的9场欧冠比赛中只赢了一场;他们在国内联赛中的表现也相当糟糕,在最近的四场奥地利德甲比赛中,他们有三场没有进球。弗洛里安·维尔茨再次进球,使他本赛季在欧冠小组赛的总进球数达到3球。帕特里克·希克和格拉尼特·扎卡给球队带来了经验和实力,这支球队自上赛季开始以来在欧洲比赛中打进37球。勒沃库森在最近的七场欧洲主场比赛中保持不败,这使得拜仁竞技场成为了一座堡垒。萨尔茨堡在本赛季的四场小组赛中输掉了三场,只进了三球,丢了九球。他们的球员平均年龄为22岁,因此缺乏这种高风险比赛所需要的经验。这将是获胜的关键原因,因此,我希望在这里取得明显的胜利!
