Friday Football Tips: Back Bayer in 4/1 Bundesliga Bet Builder

Xabi Alonso
Xabi Alonso is attracting Premier League attention for his performances in charge of Leverkusen

Moussa Diaby is the man Paul Higham is backing in his Bet Builder for Friday's Bundesliga game between Bayer Leverkusen and Koln...

  • Bayer Leverkusen unbeaten in 14 games

  • Bayer scored in both halves more than anyone else

  • Back 4/1 Bet Builder on Bayer HT/FT and Diaby's shots on target


Bayer on fine unbeaten run

Two draws in their last three has seen Bayer Leverkusen's late push for Europe stutter somewhat, so three points at home to Koln is a must.

Those draws were from tough trips to Wolfsburg and Union Berlin but they mean Xabi Alonso's side are eight points off fourth with only four games left.

They look destined for the Conference League but they'll still need a few wins to wrap that up, and mid-table Koln should be a good opposition for that.

The visitors have scored three goals in both of their recent away wins though, but with three straight clean sheets Leverkusen seem capable of counteracting that threat.

Riding a 14-game unbeaten run under Alonso, Bayer have win five of their last six at home and scored twice in each victory, so are big 8/13 favourites to get back on the winning trail.

Back Magic Moussa to hit the target

Bayer have scored in both halves in more home games than anyone else in the Bundesliga and coupled with their recent defensive prowess then I'm happy backing them in the half-time/full-time market.

Moussa Diaby is their top threat with 14 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season, hence why he's 6/5 to score and 1/2 to score or assist.

Back Bayer Leverkusen HT/FT v Koln & Diaby 2+ shots on target

4/1

But we'll instead back him for 2+ shots on target at 11/10 as he's been having plenty of efforts on goal of late.

Diaby has had at least two shots at goal in his last seven outings, hitting the target twice or more in three of those games.

With the volume he's been having he's primed to get another couple of efforts on target here.
