Best Tip: Leverkusen to win

A Europa League victory in front of their own fans for Carles Martínez Novell's Leverkusen team win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting. Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should have too much for the opposition. The odds from the bookies are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A Leverkusen win is the way to go, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
