Just one point separates these two sides as Bayer Leverkusen welcome Newcastle on Wednesday night in this UEFA Champions League encounter.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Champions League odds and betting angles for Wednesday’s fixture:

Bayer Leverkusen v Newcastle – Wednesday, 8pm

Punters can bet on Bayer Leverkusen v Newcastle with William Hill

Bayer Leverkusen find themselves fourteen points off the top of the Bundesliga following their 2-0 defeat to Augsburg on Saturday, at least they can now focus on the UEFA Champions League where they’ve taken eight points from a possible fifteen thus far (W2, D2, L1), both victories came in their last two UCL outings.
They welcome Newcastle United having just beaten Manchester City 2-0 away from home, Leverkusen have lost only one of their last six UEFA club competition matches against English teams (W3 D2), keeping four clean sheets.
Leverkusen have lost only three of their last twenty-one UEFA competition group/league matches (W13 D5), whilst victory in this one would secure three consecutive UCL victories for the first time in their club history.
——————————–
Newcastle United travel to Germany having lost just three of their last eleven competitive games (W7, D1, L3) but the Magpies have struggled on the road, despite a 4-1 victory against Everton in their last away game, that’s just two wins now from their last eleven road trips.
Newcastle are winless in the last three games against German sides (D1 L2), most recently losing 1-0 at home and 2-0 away to Dortmund in the 2023/24 Champions League group stage, whilst they’ve won only two of their last thirteen European matches away from home (D6, L5).
This is a tough game to call, i don’t feel like they’ll be much to separate the two sides on Wednesday night, but with Newcastle’s last five away games seeing both teams on the scoresheet, i’m going to back the same in this one but Eddie Howe’s side to just edge it.

Prediction: Both Teams To Score & Newcastle To Win, Bayer Leverkusen 1-2 Newcastle United.
