👉 Our prediction is: Bayer Leverkusen to win the 1st half

Bayer Leverkusen will head in to face Benfica with a tough task as the away side. Their recent results and performances have been far from impressive, but in our opinion, they are being a bit too underestimated.

We are tipping Bayer Leverkusen to win the first half because we see decent value in their odds. They still possess enough quality to cause some concern against Benfica, at least until half-time.

👉 Our prediction is: Draw

Benfica will have the home advantage in this match, and with the quality of their players to the strength of their performances, they will have the upper hand. But even with all that said, our betting tip is to go for a draw in Benfica vs Bayer Leverkusen.

We just see some flaws that Bayer Leverkusen can exploit in order to hold the home side to a draw. And with odds of 3.14, the potential payout for a draw is well worth a shot.
