Command Analysis

Brest

Current form
At the start of the Champions League, Brest became one of the main discoveries. The modest representative of Ligue 1 scored the maximum six points in two rounds and entered the leaders. However, it is worth noting that the team has not yet had any truly formidable opponents. Nevertheless, they managed to defeat the strong representatives of the Austrian Bundesliga Sturm (2:1) and Salzburg (4:0).
It is obvious that the "pirates" do not have serious resources to successfully perform in the international arena and in the national championship. For now, the bet is on the Champions League, where all the energy goes. In Ligue 1, things are going badly for Eric Roy charges. Eight rounds are behind them, in which they managed to score only 10 points. As a result, an interim 11th place and obvious problems in defense - 14 goals conceded. In the last two rounds, they managed to stabilize the situation somewhat, beating Le Havre (2:0) and drawing with Rennes (1:1).
In two matches in the Champions League, we will note the performance of Sima Abdallah. The footballer managed to score three goals, but due to an injury in the game against Bayer, he will not take to the field.
Disqualifications and injuries
Without a doubt, the biggest loss in the squad is Sima Abdallah, while defender Bradley Loko will also be missing.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brest lost in the first half in only one of their last five matches
- In three of the last four games, Brest players have committed more fouls than their opponents
- Both teams have failed to score in four of Brest previous five matches
Estimated composition : Bizot - Lala, Chardonnay, N'Diaye, Amavi - Camara, Lees-Melou, Magnetti - Del Castillo, Baldé, Camblan.

Bayer Leverkusen

Current form
Bayer had some tough opponents at the start of the Champions League, but managed to score the maximum six points. In the first round, the "pharmacists" left Feyenoord no chance, sending four unanswered goals into the opponent goal. Next came the home game with Milan, where the fate of three points was decided by one goal scored by Victor Boniface (1:0). It should be noted that Bayer has not conceded a single goal in the main European football tournament.
In the Bundesliga, https://www.bayer04.de/de-de target=_blank rel=noopener>the "pharmacists" have 14 points after seven rounds and are in fourth place. It is interesting that, unlike the Champions League, the defense periodically lets the team down in the home tournament - 13 goals conceded. Nevertheless, Xabi Alonso charges compensate for the lapses in defense in most cases with excellent actions in attack, and have already managed to score 18 goals. In the last round, Bayer beat a strong Eintracht on its home field with a score of 2:1.
Leverkusen attack this season relies heavily on Florian Wirtz. This attacking midfielder not only distributes passes and develops attacks, but also regularly scores himself. The player has scored four goals in the Bundesliga and two in the Champions League.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bayer have no problems with their squad. Boniface, who had an accident, may not play today, but the team said the player is fine.
Interesting trends for betting
- In seven of Bayer last nine away games, at least one team has failed to score
- No more than two goals have been scored in nine of Bayer previous 12 away matches in the Champions League
- In three of the last four matches of the “pharmacists” in all tournaments, a draw was recorded in the first half
Probable line-up : Hradecky - Mukiele, Tapsoba, Incapie, Grimaldo - Xhaka, Garcia - Frimpong, Wirtz, Adli - Boniface
