Bayer Leverkusen – Monaco

For the first match of the Europa League play offs, Bayer Leverkusen welcomes Monaco to the BayArena. There will be a replay next week in France, the away goals rule does not apply.

Bayer Leverkusen started with ambitions of distinction in the Champions League but in the group final, with opponents Brugge, Porto and Atlético, got to celebrate thanks to a favorable draw with the Spanish team the 3rd place that gives it participation even after the winter in the European cups.
In the German championship also not impressive with its performance, after 20 matches is in 8th place with 28 points and minus 7 from 6th place which definitely gives a European ticket and minus 3 from 7th which under conditions can give participation in the Conference League qualifiers. In its last match in time, it won easily away from Hoffenheim 3-1.

In an interesting group in the Europa League, Monaco with rivals Ferencvaros, Trabzonspor and Red Star tied with the Hungarian team but the worst goal difference sent them to the play offs of the competition.
In the French championship having in the last 10 matches 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss claims a direct ticket to the groups of the next Champions League, at the end of the 23rd matchday it found itself in 3rd place with 47 points, 2 less than 2nd Marseille and plus 1 from 4th Lance.
On Saturday, after a very good performance, they beat the champion Paris 3-1, a score that is unfair to her as she missed many opportunities to score more goals.

Leverkusen may have shown improvement after the change in their bench, however, they continue to fail to impress with their performances. Monaco, for its part, is having a very good season and after the resumption of the championships it looks in a very good condition. Both have enough quality from the middle and forward, I expect a match with many phases and goals.

Tip: Leverkusen – Monaco GG & Over 2,5 with odds of 2.00
