Bayer Leverkusen v AC Milan

Bayer Leverkusen vs AC Milan Preview

Bayer Leverkusen will be seeking to collect early back-to-back wins in the Champions League when they play host to AC Milan at their BayArena as the German hosts registered a 4-0 win away from home at Dutch side Feyenoord on matchday 1, while AC Milan were dealt a heavy 3-1 loss at home to Liverpool in their opening game in this season's Champions League.

The German hosts bring a four-match unbeaten sequence into this matchday 2 clash with their Italian counterparts which consist of wins against Hoffenheim 4-1, Feyenoord 4-0 and Wolfsburg 4-3 along with a point by way of a 1-1 draw away from home at Bayern Munich.

Having scored four goals in three of these four games, Bayer Leverkusen boast prolific prowess in front of goal and this could prove to be pivotal in determining the outcome of this Tuesday night fixture at their BayArena.

In addition, Bayer Leverkusen have slipped to just one defeat within their last nine games overall in all competitions, picking up six wins within this period while the goals market also looks an attractive proposition here as six out of these last nine games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals as well.

AC Milan will be looking to pick up a third win on the trot having previously despatched the likes of local rivals Inter Milan 2-1 and Lecce 3-0 in recent times in the Italian top flight and no doubt the visitors will be keen to post their first win of this season's Champions League as well.

Paulo Fonseca's side had been handed a heavy 3-1 defeat at home by English Premier League side Liverpool in their opening fixture of this new Champions League format but the visitors have been dealt just two losses in their previous 12 games overall in all competitions.

The other loss during this period came in the form of a 2-1 defeat away from home at Parma but AC Milan have also captured seven wins within this period as well, which gives the Italian side a fair chance of perhaps getting something from this upcoming trip to the BayArena on Tuesday night.

The goals market also looks a strong prospect from AC Milan's perspective as no fewer than 10 out of AC Milan's last 12 games in all competitions have also yielded Over 2.5 goals being scored.

Bayer Leverkusen v AC Milan Verdict

AC Milan have managed to capture just three wins in their last 11 outings on the road in all competitions though and this looks like counting against Paulo Fonseca's side when they come face to face with a strong Bayer Leverkusen outfit here.
