Leverkusen vs Sociedad betting tips 2 October 2013 Champions League By Gustav

Leverkusen vs Sociedad betting tips 2 October 2013 Champions League: "Leverkusen was defeated at Old Trafford in the first round of Champions League to Manchester United with the score of 4:2. However, the team looked very competitive and had more goalscoring chances, but still that didn’t help them to avoid leaving the field with empty hands. After that defeat, they are faced with almost must win situation now."

However, that defeat didn’t lower their morale as the team continued with three consecutive victories later on. They have won over Mainz 4:1 away from home, progressed over Bielefeld 2:0 on the road too, finally ending it with a 2:0 home victory over Hannover on Saturday evening. The team is doing more than well into new season, currently holding the third position in Bundesliga with a 6-0-1 record and being only a point away from deadly duo Dortmund and Bayern Munich. As said, their target is to get a victory tonight and continue searching for their chances to get through to the next phase of Champions League, that is their target this Autumn.

Gonazelo Castro (5/1 in the domestic league) continues to be sidelined with injury, while Simon Rolfes continues in the center of midfield. Substitute midfielder Hegeler is also sidelined, while the coach isn’t expected to change anything in comparison to previous game, trying to field consistently same players in each game.


Real Sociedad lost in the first round to Shakhtar Donetsk at home, as the Spanish team had much more chances during the game and could have earned much better results thorough the ninety minutes. Still, Ukrainian side used their chances in the second half, proved to be much more efficient and got the victory with two goals from Alex.

It must be said that the team isn’t in the best form as they have no victory since 2:0 win against Lyon in Champions League qualifying round which was at the end of August. Having 1-4-2 record in Primera and being currently in the second part of the table, it’s obvious that the team will have hard time repeating their dream season from previous year. Still, nobody can be satisfied with their start into the new season and it seems that playing in Champions League won’t be their primary thing for much longer. Guests are coming without four players to Germany: midfielders Xabi Prieto (6/1 in domestic league), Granero (3/1), left defender Estrada (3/0) and forward Diego Irfan who didn’t participate yet into the new season.

Leverkusen have conceded at least three goals in their last three matches in the Champions League.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in six of Leverkusen’s last seven games in the Champions League.
Home side seems to be much more of a real football team at the moment and surely shouldn’t blow a chance to get a victory over out of form visitors who are coming weakened to Leverkusen.

Bet: Leverkusen Wins
