Now, let’s take a closer look at some betting angles for Tuesday night’s UEFA Champions League fixture:

Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich – Tuesday, 8pm

• Bayer Leverkusen went into their Bundesliga fixture against Werder Bremen on Saturday as huge favourites but maybe they had an eye on this fixture after they suffered a 2-0 defeat.
• Saturday’s defeat was their first on home soil in their eighteen games, they faced Bayern Munich here a month ago, a game which ended goalless.
• That goalless draw saw Xabi Alonso’s side produce fifteen shots at goal compared to Bayern Munich’s two, they’ll be hoping to dominate again but will need to be ruthless in front of goal.
  ——————————–
• Just like their title contenders, Bayern Munich were also heavy favourites when they welcomed Bochum on Saturday, a first half red card for Joao Palhinha changed the game, with Bochum upsetting the odds and winning 3-2.
• Vincent Kompany’s side haven’t won here in their last three outings, i’m expecting a similar performance to last month, with the Bavarians sitting back to soak up the pressure, looking for the counter-attack.
• A healthy lead from the first leg should be enough to secure a quarter-final spot for Bayern, although this away trip won’t be straight forward.

Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen To Win, Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 Bayern Munich.
