Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs West Ham United. Shape of the Teams

Leverkusen will host West Ham at BayArena on Thursday in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League.

Under Xabi Alonso’s stewardship, Leverkusen has been phenomenal so far, and they are on the brink of clinching their first Bundesliga title. During the current season, Bayer broke the Bundesliga’s historical record for an unbeaten streak.

Leverkusen only drew once in their seven previous matches in the Europa League. Strangely enough, Alonso’s team stumbled in the match against Qarabag when they had to come back from a 0-2 deficit, eventually securing a 2-2 draw.

Each player in Leverkusen’s squad is in exquisite form. Patrick Schick has seamlessly filled the void left by Victor Boniface, while Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong have been sensational on the flanks.

West Ham, on the other hand, have been unconvincing despite a crushing 5-0 victory over Freiburg in the 1/8 finals of the UEL. West Ham won only one of their last four matches – away against Wolverhampton. Moreover, this was only the team’s fourth victory in seventeen games across all tournaments. The Londoners are now in seventh place in the Premier League.

The team’s best scorer is 23-year-old midfielder Mohammed Kudus, who has already scored five goals and emerged as a beacon of hope for the Hammers.

However, Jarrod Bowen’s absence due to injury is a bitter pill to swallow, creating problems for David Moyes’ tactical plans.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs West Ham United Prediction, Odds

Pick: Leverkusen (-1.5) Handicap
Odds: +114 (Tonybet)

West Ham, last year’s UEFA Conference League victors, were unfortunate to draw against Leverkusen in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

The Germans are having an inspiring season, remaining unbeaten halfway into April and eyeing silverware across three competitions.

Xabi Alonso has transformed Leverkusen into a relentless winning machine, winning 12 of the last 13 games across all competitions.

Given this trajectory, wagering on a Leverkusen win, especially with a handicap, is a reasonable choice. Leverkusen’s home form in the UEL has been excellent, winning all four matches on home turf with an average difference of 3.25 goals.

Conversely, West Ham’s European away record is mixed, with as many defeats as wins and a goal differential that doesn’t inspire confidence against an impeccable team like Leverkusen.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs West Ham United Betting Tip

Pick: Both Teams to Score
Odds: -118 (Tonybet)

Bayer Leverkusen’s newfound knack for clutch victories has breathed new life into the dying moments of their games, earning the final minutes the moniker “Xabi Time,” a nod to the legendary “Fergie Time” of Sir Alex Ferguson’s era at Manchester United.

In both matches against Qarabag, the Azerbaijanis led 2-0, but this did not prevent Alonso’s men from winning the second tie in injury time when Patrick Schick netted the winner. A similar story unfolded in the Bundesliga game against Hoffenheim.

Leverkusen’s knack for comebacks means that even if the Hammers obtain a lead, they could still turn everything in their favour. Given this scenario, betting on both teams to score seems plausible.

Bayer’s defence is generally solid, but they frequently concede goals, even to weak teams. West Ham’s attack, including Lucas Paqueta, Jarrod Bowen, and Mohammed Kudus, will try to create chances against the opponents, and I think they will make their mark on the score sheet.
