Brest vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Steve Ashfield in Champions League Predictions
Brest are flying high in this season's Champions League. After the first two games of the league phase, the Pirates are in second place and on Wednesday they host Bayer Leverkusen who are fourth in the league. The French side are one of only seven sides who have won both of their matches so far in this league phase. However, Leverkusen are another of the clubs with a 100% record and will be tough to beat.
Brest are only 11th in Ligue 1 this season and were held to a draw at the weekend. They have some tough games coming up in this competition though with their next two games being away at Sparta Prague and then Barcelona.
Bayer Leverkusen are only behind their opponents on goals scored with five compared to the six of their opponents. The Black and Reds are yet to concede a goal in this season's Champions League.

Brest - Bayer Leverkusen: Form Analysis
Brest are only off the top of the Champions League on goal difference. The French club have won both of their matches in the league phase and owe a lot of their success to Abdallah Sima who has scored three goals so far but is doubtful for this match.
He was on target in their 2-1 home win over Sturm Graz, then scored twice as Brest won 4-0 away at Red Bull Salzburg. The Pirates are unbeaten in their last three matches and most recently gave away a lead and drew 1-1 at home to Rennes.
Bayer Leverkusen on an unbeaten run.
Bayer Leverkusen are also looking to make it three wins out of three. The German champions began their campaign with an impressive 4-0 win at Feyenoord. They followed that up with a hard-fought 1-0 home win over Milan.
They are fourth in the German Bundesliga this season and come into this match unbeaten in their last seven league and cup matches. On the road, Leverkusen had won four in a row before a 1-1 draw at Bayern Munich.

Brest & Bayer Leverkusen Squad Analysis
As mentioned, Abdallah Sima has scored three goals in the first two Brest Champions League matches. Will he play in this match though? He was missing from their line-up for the weekend match against Rennes due to a hamstring injury and is an injury doubt.
Also doubtful is Julien Le Cardinal who was injured in the warm-up at the weekend. If he can't play, Abdoulaye Ndiaye or Soumaila Coulibaly could come into the side. They will have Massadio Haidara back in their squad as he's back from suspension. Pierre Lees-Melou made a welcome retutn to the side at the weekend. He'd been out since May due to injury.
Wirtz hopefully fit to play against Brest.
Florian Wirtz has been in good scoring form for Bayer Leverkusen this season. He injured an ankle while playing for Germany and only made a brief appearance at the weekend. It's hoped he will be able to start this match.
Victor Boniface scored the winning goal against Milan in their last Champions League game. He's since been involved in a car crash and is a doubt for this match.

Bayer Leverkusen have had stronger opponents to face and have had wins in Feyenoord and at home to Milan. Both wins came without them conceding a goal and they are again going well in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen are on a good unbeaten run at present and also drew away at Bayern Munich in their last away fixture. Our main Brest v Bayer Leverkusen prediction is Bayer Leverkusen to win.
