Dangerous Leverkusen set to pile misery on Moyes’ Man Utd

Former Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia knows just how important beating Man Utd is and the Bayer Leverkusen manager can mastermind a win in their Group A clash this evening.

Leverkusen have a fantastic home record at the BayArena and have won their last eight home group-stage matches in the Champions League; they are 7/5 to win again.

That includes a four-nil thumping of Shakhtar last month and they then followed up with a very valuable draw in Ukraine.

After all that hard work they are unlikely to wilt in-front of their home fans and the visitors may not be up to the task.

Bet on Leverkusen to concede but still win at 15/4

David Moyes’ tenure at Old Trafford has been an unsteady one and the club suffered another blow on Sunday when they drew at Cardiff.

That performance underlined their defensive frailties – the marking for the equaliser was non-existent – and it is no surprise that the club have conceded 10 goals in six Premier League matches.

However, they make for good viewing as they are also the highest goalscorers away from home in the Premier League.

We can expect more goals this evening and the 5/2 about more than 3.5 goals looks of interest; that bet would have collected in two of Leverkusen’s last three home matches in the Bundesliga.

The Germans’ success this season has been built around their home record and it’s worth noting that it’s not just the smaller teams that have fallen at the BayArena.

Bet on over 3.5 goals at 5/2

Bayern Munich drew 1-1 there in October whilst Leverkusen have won their other two matches against top-half opposition (Wolfsburg and Monchengladbach).

On both occasions both teams scored and the 4/6 about both teams to net this evening becomes even more appealing when we consider Man Utd’s away record this season.
