Prediction: 1-1
Monaco
Bayer Leverkusen and Monaco square off against each other at BayArena in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Thursday’s program. Bayer quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Augsburg, with the team beating Hoffenheim on the road, and they must be high on spirits ahead of the visit of Monaco. Even though key attacker Patrik Schick remains in the recovery room, alongside goalkeeper Andrey Lunev and Charles Aranguiz, we predict that the hosts are going to find the net in the first leg.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, looked sharp in front of goal in a 3-1 win over Messi-less PSG, meaning that both teams to score betting option should be considered. Defenders Vanderson and Malang Sarr miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting side, while the opposition back-line should have Wissam Ben Yedder at bay.

Members of the top tier Ligue 1, Monaco play their home matches at the Stade Louis II in Fontvieille in front of 18,500 people.
