Best Tip: Leverkusen to win

A Bundesliga victory in front of their own fans for Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen side win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Stats suggest they're in strong form across a number of key metrics, and they should be too strong for their opponents. The odds from the bookmakers suggest so too, and when that happens you've got reason to feel confident. A Leverkusen win is our recommendation, but it could be a close one.
