Monaco vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

• Both teams to score has been a winning selection in eight of Monaco’s last nine matches in all competitions
• Six of Monaco’s last seven home matches went over 2.5 match goals, both teams scored in all six of those contests
• Leverkusen have lost four of their last five away matches

Expect goals at Stade Louis II

Last week’s first leg finished 3-2 to Monaco, and another high-scoring affair is expected at Stade Louis II on Thursday.  Both teams to score has been a winning selection in eight of Monaco’s last nine matches in all competitions, while six of their last seven home games have gone over 2.5 match goals, with both teams scoring in all six of those contests.

Leverkusen are no strangers to high-scoring matches either, both teams have scored in each of their last three matches, which averaged 4.66 goals per game.

Monaco should secure safe passage into last 16

Monaco hold a one-goal advantage heading into the second leg, meaning the emphasis will be on the visitors to force the pace, who risk being picked off if they throw caution to the wind.

Leverkusen are on a woeful run of form having lost four of their last five matches in all competitions, they have conceded six times in their last two outings, and it is hard to make any case for Xabi Alonso’s side overturning a one-goal deficit on Thursday.

Both teams to score and over 2.5 match goals will be the main selection for Thursday’s game at Stade Louis II, with a 3-1 home win forming the correct score prediction.
