Champions League Betting Preview: Manchester City vs Bayer Leverkusen

Premier League giants Manchester City host German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen at Etihad Stadium, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Tuesday 25 November.

We’ll wager Man City -2 to beat Bayer Leverkusen at odds of -109. The Asian Handicap favourites can deliver a return if we land a victory by three or more goals, with the insurance of money back if they win by two.

Manchester City lost away from home in their last game. Newcastle United won 2-1 at St James' Park in the Premier League. The Citizens had four shots on target and boasted 68% possession, with Ruben Dias scoring the goal.

Bayer Leverkusen got a Bundesliga win in their previous game. It was on their travels where Wolfsburg were beaten 3-1 at Volkswagen Arena. Kasper Hjulmand's side had the lion’s share of the ball enjoying 62% possession and three shots on goal, with Jonas Hofmann, Edmond Tapsoba and Malik Tillman finding the net.

In their last Champions League games, City claimed a 4-1 win when hosting Borussia Dortmund, with Leverkusen winning 1-0 away to Benfica.
