Bayer Leverkusen vs Zurich Predictions and Odds

Teams from Germany and Switzerland are starting the next phase of their season in the back end of January, Bayer and Zurich will play one of many friendly matches in the coming period.

Over 2.5 Goals

Bayer Leverkusen has been one of the best ‘over’ teams in Bundesliga this season with 11 out of 14 matches with two or more goals scored. Zurich, on the other hand, is not that successful in that department, but with the friendly type of this match, things might get curious.

Both Teams to Score – Yes

Thus far Leverkusen played a couple of friendly matches, and in both of those games, one or the other team hasn’t scored a goal. This should change against Zurich who beat Austrian side Dornbirn 2-1 in their only friendly game thus far.

Bayer Leverkusen to Win

The Bundesliga side will be the favorite to win this matchup, especially with the way they lost to Rangers recently by the score of 3-0. Coach Xabi Alonso was furious with his players after that kind of performance.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Zurich Preview: The Swiss are about to miss their opportunity

Bayer Leverkusen

The Leverkusen outfit had a tough first part of the season, they were losing match after match before Xabi Alonso took over the helm. He had a rough first couple of weeks, but Bayer ended the first part of the campaign strongly with three wins in a row which pushed them toward the middle of the table. They still have a long way to go before things return to normal, as they would say in Leverkusen, and they still have hope that some kind of European competition for next season is in their future. Leverkusen trail sixth-placed Dortmund by only seven points, and has a decent shot of at least making things a bit interesting as we are approaching the most important part of the season. Alonso will have a serious problem to solve during the training period, the team’s defense which allowed 26 goals, one more than they have scored.

Zurich

The Swiss team was sensational champions last season but dropped significantly this season. They are last in the rankings with only two wins in 16 matches, and the fans are furious with the team’s management that sold some important players from last season’s championship run. Zurich scored only 13 goals this season which is tied for the worst mark in the league. If you wonder how bad is their stat, you just have to look to the next bad team in that aspect, none other than Basel who scored 21. Aiyegun Tosin is the team’s best striker with four goals, but there aren’t many positive outcomes from this season so far, and we are talking about both sides of the playing field.
