FC Porto vs Bayer Leverkusen – Leverkusen’s European campaign got off to a bad start as they were defeated by league leaders Club Brugge. However, they did succeed in turning things around by defeating Atletico Madrid.
And now they’ll be motivated to maintain the winning streak by defeating struggling Porto, who are now ranked last in the standings. Porto has a 100% losing record in the CL thus far, has conceded the most goals in the group, and has also scored the fewest goals.
In fact, they have only been able to score once during the competition. They are under a lot of strain because with each subsequent matchday, their prospects of advancing to the knockout rounds get smaller.
This Tuesday, they must try to win at all costs because a draw would not be very helpful to them. And since they would be forced to take chances, as has already happened with them, this would result in them making even more errors.
Leverkusen, on the other hand, scored the most goals and allowed the fewest goals in the group, with the apparent exception of group winners Club Brugge. After beating Spanish powerhouse Atleti, they are also quite confident.
Recently, they have been routinely scoring, and more importantly, they have an outstanding head-to-head record versus this opponent over the years. Due to the aforementioned factors, Bayer Leverkusen should triumph on Tuesday.
