Prediction: 3-1
Bayer Leverkusen
All eyes will be on Stade Louis II when Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen face each other in the Europa League last 16, first leg. Monaco did well to beat Leverkusen 3-2 at BayArena, with the French outfit moving one step closer to advancing to the last 16, but they can’t afford any complacency in the second leg. Wissam Ben Yedder should keep his place in the starting XI, while all Aguilar, Maripan, Martins, Vanderson, and Volland are likely to miss the game with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Bundesliga side have been struggling at the back of late, with the team conceding seven goals in total in the last three games in all competitions. Since Monaco have turned their Stade Louis II into a real fortress, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Fit-again Czech international Patrik Schick is pushing for a start, while all Aranguiz, Diaby, and Lunev should miss out with injuries.
