CSKA Moscow vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
CSKA Moscow are playing for a Europa League place here, with qualification to the last 16 looking incredibly unlikely. They sit bottom of Group E with just two points and have been in terrible form, both domestically and in Europe. The win at the weekend was their first in 6 outings and they’ve lost 3 of their last 5 matches.
Bayer Leverkusen signed off for the international break on a four game winning streak, so the loss to RB Leipzig came as something of a surprise. A win here would consolidate their position in second and could even move them into the lead, if Spurs get a result in Monaco.
After seeing the recent form of these sides, it’s difficult to make a case for CSKA Moscow winning this. Even with a home advantage, they just haven’t offered anything to get excited about lately. Bayer Leverkusen should win this and comfortably.
