Molde vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

• Leverkusen are unbeaten after eight games, winning seven.
• Six of Bayer’s wins have been by two or more goals.
• Molde have lost their last three European games.

Rampant Bayer too strong for Molde

Bayer Leverkusen have made an excellent start to the season with seven wins in eight games and they should be too strong for hosts Molde on Thursday.

The Norwegian outfit are in good form domestically and they come into the game after an eye-catching 4-0 win over title challengers Viking, but they have struggled for results in Europe.

Bayer can win with room to spare

Bayer have won all bar one of their games and their one draw came in a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich.

Leverkusen have been in free-scoring form as well and are averaging an impressive four goals-per-game across all competitions, with six of their seven wins coming by more than one goal.

Molde have lost their last three European games after falling short in Champions league qualifying and went down 1-0 at Qarabag in their Group H opener.

Backing Bayer to win with a -1 handicap stands out for our main bet for the reasons outlined above, and a 4-0 win for the visitors appeals given how clinical the German side have been in front of goal.

Bayer’s Victor Boniface has six goals in as many Bundesliga games this season and was on target in the 4-0 demolition of Swedish outfit Hacken in Bayer’s Europa League opener, and he looks the best option for an anytime scorer bet here.
