⚽ Manchester City vs. Leverkusen preview & score prediction
Manchester City barely get any time to process what went wrong in their last game.
But a short break might actually be good for the English club, as I predict City will beat Bayer Leverkusen by two goals or more.
Man City out for revenge
A date with Bayer Leverkusen, who have struggled in the Champions League, could be just what the Premier League side needs to get back on track after a demoralizing defeat to Newcastle.
The loss was a setback in their bid to keep up with leaders Arsenal. But Manchester City get a chance to accomplish the same goal (they’re two points back of first-place Arsenal in the Champions League) on Tuesday at Etihad Stadium.
It’s no secret that Leverkusen have been regressing since winning the Bundesliga in 2024, but performances in the league this year suggest the third-placed team is on the rise.
Unfortunately for Leverkusen, they’ll face a City team that’s feasted on German opponents over the years. City have won their last 13 games against German squads, including a 4-1 victory over Dortmund in their last Champions League outing.
A winning $10 bet on City earning a two-plus goal victory nets a profit of $5.88 at DraftKings
Score prediction: Manchester City 3, Bayer Leverkusen 0
🆚 Manchester City vs. Leverkusen matchup to watch
Erling Haaland vs. Leverkusen’s defense
It’s time to stop being cute and bet on the guy everyone’s backing to score.
Erling Haaland was quiet after a pair of early chances in City’s 2-1 away loss to Newcastle over the weekend. But I expect him to come out flying Tuesday and score the first goal of the game.
After scoring in all five of Manchester City’s Champions League games, Haaland will like his chances of stretching it to six when he goes up against a Leverkusen side that’s conceded over two goals per game in the competition.
Haaland, who has logged 19 goals in 16 games, has been the first scorer in six of his last nine appearances in all competitions.
A successful $10 bet at DraftKings delivers a profit of $19.50.
Best prop bet: Erling Haaland first scorer (+195 via DraftKings)
