Bayer Leverkusen, one of the finest teams in the Champions League, will take on Sparta Praha in the 8th round at home on Wednesday. They pass the ball a lot inside their own half before deciding when to attack, and this could give them an advantage over their opponents. The squad like to go for short passes before targeting the box.
Manager Xabi Alonso will be hurt by Hincapie’s suspension in this game. Adli, Belocian, and Terrier’s absence due to health issues will also hurt. The latter has sustained an ACL injury and is ruled out for the rest of the season.
In the absence of these key players, the rest of the team will have to rally and make sure they don’t fall behind. At the moment, Bayer Leverkusen are ranked 8th in the cumulative standings with 13 points.
Bayer Leverkusen predicted lineup vs Sparta Praha: (4-2-3-1): Hradecky; Grimaldo, Tapsoba, Tah, Arthur; Xhaka, Andrich; Sarco, Wirtz, Tella; Schick.
Sparta Praha will have an uphill task when they travel to take on Leverkusen, but one can expect them to fight till the end. Their players are fit enough to play back-to-back matches. This form will come in handy against a side that are known for their impressive work rate. At the moment, the guests rank 29th with only 4 points in their kitty.
Sparta Praha’s ongoing performance in the Champions League has been quite disappointing. They’ve only won one game out of seven so far. Their most recent 0-1 loss to Inter Milan will serve as a reminder for them to wake up and not lose the ball when in possession. If the visitors make silly mistakes in defence against Bayer Leverkusen, they’ll be badly punished.
Sparta Praha predicted lineup (3-1-4-2): Jansen; Zelený, Panak, Sørensen; Kairinen; Suchomel, Laçi, Solbakken, Sadílek; Rrahmani, Birmančević.
Bet hereBayer are the overwhelming favourites to win this event, and we expect them to do so easily. Their attackers, led by Patrik Schick, will have a field day against the Sparta defenders, who’ve already conceded a whopping 19 goals this season. The guests will have a tough time keeping up with their opponents’ short and quick passing tactics in this game.
A total of over three goals is anticipated on Wednesday, with most of them coming from the home team. Praha have scored just seven goals in this tournament this season, which translates to one goal per match. Their attackers will be marked tightly by the home defenders and will not be given space.
Leverkusen, meanwhile, will be served well by the aforementioned Schick and Wirtz. They’re known to create spaces for themselves even with just an inch or so inside the opposition’s box. Praha will find these players challenging to keep an eye on in this encounter.
