Ferencvaros vs Leverkusen Betting Tips: BTTS / Leverkusen to win

With Ferencvaros needing a two-goal swing to turn this tie around, the hosts will need to get on the front foot and find at least two goals if they are to have any chance of emerging with a quarter-final place.

Of course, that could be easier said than done with Leverkusen in fine form with five wins in their last seven away matches. The Germans scored at least two goals in all five wins, with exactly three scored in each of their previous four away victories.

Given their greater quality and form, and the comfortable nature of that first-leg success, Bayer should be fancied to claim another win here although Ferncvaros have performed well in this competition, having remained unbeaten in four home matches this season with wins against Trabzonspor and Red Star, as well as a draw against Monaco. All three of those games saw BTTS.

With Leverkusen seeing the same outcome in each of their last four on the road and in six of their last eight away EL matches, we´re backing something similar with the hosts capable of troubling an opponent that does tend to concede on their travels.

Ultimately, Bayer should have the tools to progress, but the Hungarians have enough home form to make this an interesting contest where both teams should be expected to get on the scoresheet.
