Bayer Leverkusen vs Monaco Predictions

• Monaco are unbeaten in their last nine matches in all competitions
• Both teams to score has been a winning selection in six of Monaco’s last seven matches
• Bayer Leverkusen have won one of their last six matches in UEFA club competitions

Monaco can earn first leg advantage

Monaco are unbeaten in their last nine matches in all competitions and will travel to Germany full of confidence having won their last three consecutive matches in Ligue 1.

These two sides have met four times in the past decade, all of which were in the Champions League Group Stage, with Monaco edging the head-to-head record (W2, D1, L1).

Monaco are fancied to get a positive result on Thursday, however, a clean sheet looks unlikely. Both teams to score has been a winning selection in six of Monaco’s last seven matches in all competitions.

Leverkusen yet to fire in Europe

Leverkusen won just one of their six matches in a modest Champions League group and now drop into the Europa League to take on an inform Monaco side.

Thursday’s hosts have lost two of their last three in Bundesliga and can currently be backed at 10/11 for Thursday’s game, which appears a bit too short and Xabi Alonso’s charge can be left alone at the prices.

The 2001/02 season was the last time Leverkusen made it beyond the last 16 in a UEFA competition and they may have to wait a while longer yet with the French side expected to secure a safe passage into the next round.

Monaco Draw No Bet will be the main selection for Thursday’s game at BayArena, with a 2-1 away win forming the correct score prediction.
