Bayer Leverkusen vs Sparta Prague Predictions

• Bayer Leverkusen have won 11 of their last 14 competitive games
• Three of Bayer Leverkusen’s last five games have produced over 3.5 goals
• Sparta Prague’s seven Champions League games have featured 26 goals

Leverkusen can ease into last 16

Bayer Leverkusen are just stationed inside the top eight in the overall Champions League standings and they can secure a spot in the last 16 with victory at home to Sparta Prague.

Leverkusen head into the final matchday in eighth spot, level on 13 points with the likes of Aston Villa, Monaco and Lille, and goal difference could well play its part on the final day.

Xabi Alonso’s men will be determined to finish as high as possible and they can rack up the goals against Sparta Prague, who have already been eliminated.

Xabi Alonso’s men can contribute to high-scoring clash

Bayer Leverkusen have slipped in the last week, losing to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League before a 2-2 draw with Leipzig in the Bundesliga but they had won 11 competitive games on the spin beforehand.

They have scored at least twice in five of their last seven matches and Patrik Schick and Florian Wirtz provide them with plenty of attacking firepower.

They have not always been rock solid at the back, though, and they will not be helped in this game by the suspension of key defender Piero Hincapie.

That enhances the appeal of backing a high-scoring game and Leverkusen are fancied to win a match featuring at least four goals with a 3-1 win the best correct score approach.
