Bayer Leverkusen will be looking towards their impressive home form to help them open their Champions League account. Leverkusen may have won seven consecutive home games, but it will be no easy task for them to extend that record against Real Sociedad this evening.
Both these teams were left stung after defeats in the opening matchday, Leverkusen losing 4-2 at Manchester United, while Real Sociedad were un-done at home by Shakhtar Donetsk, 0-2.
Leverkusen are expected to have a full squad to pick from, with Lars Bender returning from an injury worry. While Real Sociedad are expected to play a mostly unchanged side from their 1-1 draw with Sevilla on Saturday evening.
Leverkusen possible line-up: Leno – Donati, Toprak, Spahic, Boenisch – L.Bender, Reinartz, Rofles – Sam, Kießling, Son.
Real Sociedad possible line-up: Bravo – Carlos Martinez, Mikel Gonzalez, Iñigo Martinez, de la Bella – Bergara, Ruben Pardo – Chori Castro, Vela, Griezmann – Seferovic.
I’m expected Leverkusen to extend their impressive home form with another win. I’m calling it at 2-0 Leverkusen, what do you think the score will be?
