In this Leverkusen vs Salzburg preview, we take a closer look at both teams' current form, their key players, and what to expect in this highly anticipated fixture. Leverkusen will be determined to prove that their defeat at Anfield was a blip in what has been an otherwise impressive season, while Salzburg will look to maintain their positive European pedigree and show that they can compete with the best of Germany’s Bundesliga.
After a humbling 4-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool in their last Champions League outing, Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to bounce back when they take on Austrian side Salzburg at home. The reigning Bundesliga champions will be eager to return to winning ways on the continental stage and strengthen their bid for a spot in the knockout stages. They’ll need to keep their heads high after such a heavy loss, but with their strong domestic form and solid record at home in European competitions, Leverkusen will be hoping to regain momentum.
Xabi Alonso’s side has been in strong form domestically, and they’ll need to bring that same intensity into their European campaign against Salzburg. Despite their disastrous 4-0 loss to Liverpool, Leverkusen have lost just three of their last 24 UCL matches, winning 15 and drawing six. Their home form has been particularly impressive, having won six of their last seven European games at the BayArena. With a 5-2 thumping of Heidenheim in the Bundesliga last time out, confidence will be high as they aim to secure a place in the knockout stages of the UCL for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
Leverkusen’s attacking options are firing on all cylinders, with Patrik Schick in blistering form, having bagged a hat-trick in their recent league victory. Schick’s seven goals this season include six at home, making him a key player for the hosts in this match. Leverkusen’s solid defence, which has kept them competitive in both domestic and European competitions, will be crucial as they face a Salzburg side known for their counter-attacking prowess. Alonso will be looking for a strong performance across the pitch as they look to put their Liverpool disappointment behind them.
Salzburg may not have been in their best form of late, but they’ll certainly be a team that Leverkusen cannot afford to underestimate. The Red Bulls have a solid European pedigree, and despite a rocky start to this season's UCL campaign, they showed their quality with a 3-1 win over Feyenoord in their most recent European outing. They’ll need to build on that victory as they look to make a push for the knockout rounds. However, their domestic form has been concerning, as they’ve lost their last two Austrian Bundesliga matches, something that hasn’t happened since the start of the 2015-16 season.
Salzburg’s hopes will rest largely on Karim Konaté, who has been in fine form in Europe, scoring twice in the win over Feyenoord. He has a knack for finding the net in crucial games, and Salzburg will be looking to him to continue his scoring run. With experience in facing German teams, Salzburg’s ability to handle the pressure at the BayArena will be put to the test. Their inconsistent form will certainly play on their minds, but their strong European history means they are still capable of causing problems for their hosts if they can find their rhythm.
Leverkusen will be looking to prove that their 4-0 loss to Liverpool was a one-off, and with their excellent home form in European competitions, they will back themselves to come out on top in this encounter. The hosts have been dominant in their domestic league, and their attacking prowess will be key to overcoming Salzburg. However, Leverkusen will need to improve their defensive solidity after conceding heavily in their last European outing, especially against a Salzburg team that can be dangerous on the counter.
For Salzburg, this is a pivotal match in their bid to progress in the Champions League. Their form in both Europe and Austria has been inconsistent, but they’ve shown they can rise to the occasion. With key players like Konaté and their experience in European competition, Salzburg will be looking to cause an upset and put their recent domestic struggles behind them. Leverkusen will have to be wary of Salzburg’s counter-attacking ability and the threat posed by their top scorer, making this a tricky tie for both sides.

Our prediction is a 3-2 win for Bayer Leverkusen. Despite Salzburg's strong European pedigree, Leverkusen’s attacking firepower, particularly at home, should be enough to see them through in a thrilling encounter. The hosts have been solid in front of goal and will look to continue their impressive record at the BayArena, while Salzburg will provide a real challenge on the break. We recommend betting on "Leverkusen to win and Both Teams to Score," as we expect goals at both ends, with the German side ultimately edging this one with their attacking depth and home advantage.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
