Leverkusen looking for Europa League place

There's plenty to still decide in Group B, where Bayer Leverkusen host Club Brugge.

The Germans are bottom of the group and can't make the knockout stages of the Champions League, but they can leapfrog third-placed Atletico Madrid and qualify for the Europa League. Meanwhile, Club Brugge are looking to remain top of the group, with second placed Porto only a point behind them.

Bayer Leverkusen lost the reverse fixture 1-0. They remain in contention for the Europa League, thanks to their results against Atletico, beating the Spanish club 2-0 at home and drawing 2-2 away last week. Over the weekend they lost 2-0 at RB Leipzig, which means that Xabi Alonso's team have now gone five games without a win (D2 L3).

Club Brugge lost their first group match last week when they were surprisingly defeated 4-0 at home by Porto, having previously not conceded a goal. On Saturday they bounced back with a 4-2 over KV Oostende, leaving them in third place in the First Division A.

Expect goals from both sides

Bayer Leverkusen are the 1.625/8 favourites with the draw 4.77/2 and Club Brugge 5.39/2.

Based on form in this group, Brugge are a big price, but their result against Porto last week means backing them is a risk. Having done the hard work of qualifying for the last-16, they may have mentally switched off.

Leverkusen have to go for it and that could result in goals. There's not much value in the goals markets, but both teams to score and no draw is a nice price at 11/10.

Back both Bayer Leverkusen and Club Brugge to score and no draw @

11/10
