The German side are currently third in the Bundesliga – behind last season’s Champions League finalists, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, and are unbeaten at home, winning six of their seven matches in front of their own fans. As such the betting odds for a Leverkusen win of 29/19 with Pinnacle are sure to tempt many. United are available at odds of 29/14 with the same bookie, while the draw – which is our pick for this one – is 12/5 with Bet365.
Though we think David Moyes’ men have the better striker force, they are still showing some signs of weakness at the back and we can’t see them stopping the hosts scoring. As is often the case when both sides could do with the win, they will probably have to settle for a draw, and that’s what we’ll be backing here, with 1-1 our preferred scoreline.
