Liverpool is coming into this match playing in great form in their recent matches. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 10 of their last 11 matches with no losses in that span. Their defense has not been great, but their attack has been on fire as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 5 matches. When playing at home, they have been in much better form as they have won their last 5 straight matches there, scoring at least 2 goals in each of those 5 matches and their defense has also been much better as they have only allowed 3 goals total in those 5 matches as well. They are going up against a Leverkusen side that has not been in bad form in their recent matches, but they have not been in great form either. They have not been losing matches recently as they have no losses in their last 11 straight, but they have been struggling a lot more to win recently as they only have 1 win in their last 4 and 2 wins in their last 6 matches. They have drawn 4 of their last 6 matches and they have allowed 6 goals in that span as well. They are coming off of a 0-0 draw at home to Stuttgart in their last match and they have struggled more away from home as they have no wins in their last 3 straight away matches. Scoring has not been an issue for this team this season, but their defense has been conceding a lot of goals and this Liverpool side has a very potent attack that has been in great form recently. Liverpool also has a much better defense at home that has not been conceding many goals there and that is going to be the difference here as Liverpool is 1 of 2 perfect 3-0-0 teams left in the league phase so they will be pushing to stay perfect with a chance to finish atop the league phase table. Liverpool will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
