Bayer Leverkusen vs Salzburg Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions
As the Champions League enters Match Day 5, Bayer Leverkusen will have the chance to play at home again this Tuesday. The Bundesliga champions will be up against Austrian side Salzburg. Three of their opening four matches were played away from home of which they collected just a point in the last two. Here we look at the match-defining stats and numbers then at the end we will have two predictions.
Both domestically and in Europe, Bayer Leverkusen are struggling to match the high standards they set last season. They did start well in the Champions League, bagging wins at Feyenoord and at home to Milan but have regressed in the last two matches.
Meanwhile, Salzburg go into Match Day 5 eyeing their second win. On Match Day 4, they recovered from three opening defeats with an away win at Feyenoord and they’ll be eyeing successive wins on the road. This match will mark the first ever meeting between the two.

Bayer Leverkusen - Salzburg: Form Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen had a match to forget in the last round of the Champions League. Xabi Alonso’s men were ruthlessly thrashed 4-0 by Liverpool. That was the joint heaviest loss for the team in the Champions League since 2013.
It left them with seven points and in 13th place and they will seek to bounce back here. Leverkusen are coming from another shaky outing in the Bundesliga, where they rose from 2-0 down to beat Heidenheim 5-2.
Die Werkself will definitely be confident ahead of this game, having won five of six home matches in Europe.
Bayer Leverkusen have three losses in their past 24 matches in Europe.
Salzburg have faced many German clubs before but Leverkusen wasn’t one of them. This will be their 21st match against a German side, and Salzburg have just one win in the last eight against a Bundesliga team.
That was against Wolfsburg in 2021/22. The Austrian side posted a surprise 3-1 win at Feyenoord on Match Day 4 to rise from three opening defeats. The quest for a second straight away win could be hampered by their numbers in Europe.
They’ve only won three of 15 away matches in Europe. The visitors have, however, lost both matches ahead of this – against Blau-Weiss Linz (2-0) and LASK (2-1).

Bayer Leverkusen & Salzburg Squad Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen’s troubles this season have been considerably caused by injuries and in this game that will not ease. Xabi Alonso’s biggest blow has to be Victor Boniface’s hip injury and the Nigerian will be out of this.
Having scored eight times for the club this season, he will be sorely missed here. The blow might, however, land softer, in knowing there’s a great replacement in the shape of Patrick Schick.
The Czech forward stepped up with a hat trick in the comeback against Heidenheim. With Jonas Hoffman and Amine Adli also out injured, Schick should be ready for a bigger role.
Also from their weekend game, Leverkusen lost Martin Terrier with a broken arm, which is expected to keep him out for a few weeks.
Schick and Konate will lead the two teams’ attack in Leverkusen.
The injury curse isn’t just at the hosts' backyard. Salzburg are also coming here without a number of key players. Brian Okoh, Leandro Morgalla, Takumu Kawamura and Fernando are all set to miss this game.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Alexander Schlanger returns from suspension and that is a big boost as his understudy Janis Blaswich is out with a calf injury. The better part is that Karim Konate comes into this game in fine form.
He has three goals from the last five matches. Konate will want to sooth hearts here, having scored an own goal in the loss to LASK.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Salzburg Prediction
Salzburg brought their scoring boots in their last Champions League game, proving their European pedigree. Beating Feyenoord away from home was a statement that they’ll want to pass in Germany as well.
Though they may easily get a goal or two against Leverkusen, getting three points could be a tall order. Even in their struggles, the German champions aren’t easily beaten at home. With that in mind, our prediction for Bayer Leverkusen v Salzburg is for Leverkusen to win and both teams to score.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Salzburg - Other Interesting Predictions
Leverkusen to score the last goal.
In their four Champions League matches before their win at Feyenoord, Salzburg conceded the final goal. They did score a late one in Rotterdam to end that streak, even after conceding nine minutes to the end of the game.
On the flipside, Leverkusen have been scoring the final goal in their matches with some regularity. It happened in their last three matches at home and in two of their four Champions League games. Going by that, our second prediction will be for Leverkusen to score this match’s last goal.
