This won't be easy but Betis is totally able to avoid defeat here.

Bayer Leverkusen is a strong team, but they aren’t a TOP team in Germany right now. They are in bad form, winless in their last 5 games (3 defeats, 12 goals conceded) and conceding a lot in defence. Recently, lost 0-2 against Wolfsburg and then lost in the Cup against Karlsruhe, from 2nd division.

In the Europa League they beat easily Celtic (0:4) while suffered to beat Ferencvaros (2:1), where the guests scored the first goal and then with 1-1 also had a goal disallowed by VAR. For this match they will miss some key players. The great striker Patrick Schick, key midfielder Aranguiz, attacker Bellarabi and midfielder Julian Baumgartlinger.

Other rotation players like Fosu-Mensah or Bakker are out too. Furthermore, the replacement of Schick - Lucas Alario is doubtful and he missed the last training. Without him, Bayer Leverkusen would be forced to play without a striker as they don't have more.

Bayer Leverkusen is also struggling to score goals in the chances they have. And today, without their best striker and probably without a replacement, will have the same problem.

On the other hand, Betis is in amazing form. With Pelegrini their performances are so good and they are a really hard team to beat. The team is full of confidence and quality. In the whole year of 2021 (only official games), they suffered defeats only against strong teams: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevila, Villarreal and Atléticco de Madrid. Only 5 out of more than 40 games played!

Also they made some changes in the weekend game against Atletico Madrid (where they lost 3:0). Some key players rested, such as Fekir (best player, who is in amazing form), Borja Iglesias (best striker). Guido (best midfielder) and Bellerin. This means that Betis is really focused on this game.

In this competition, they easily beat Ferencvaros (1:3) and Celtic (4:3, conceding a goal in the last minutes).

The previous game ended 1-1, where both teams played offensive and made a good performance. Overall, I’d say that the draw was fair.

Betis is full of confidence and motivation due to their results this year. Is a really difficult team to beat, they have a lot of quality and several TOP players for a big competition like this one. Bayer is in worse form than they played previously due to their bad results lately, and also they are missing some key players like Schick or Aranguiz which are very important. That’s why i’m not expecting an easy match for the German team here, where the draw is very possible.

这并不容易，但贝蒂斯完全能够避免输球。

勒沃库森是一支强大的球队，但他们现在还不是德国的顶级球队。他们状态不佳，最近 5 场比赛未胜（3 场失利，12 球失球）并且在防守端失球很多。最近，在对阵沃尔夫斯堡的比赛中以 0-2 输掉了比赛，然后在杯赛中输给了乙级联赛的卡尔斯鲁厄。

在欧罗巴联赛中，他们轻松击败凯尔特人（0:4），同时遭遇了费伦茨瓦罗斯（2:1），客队打进了第一个进球，然后以 1-1 的比分也有一个被 VAR 禁止的进球。对于这场比赛，他们将缺少一些关键球员。伟大的前锋帕特里克·希克、关键中场阿朗吉斯、前锋贝拉拉比和中场朱利安·鲍姆加特林格。 Fosu-Mensah 或 Bakker 等其他轮换球员也将缺席。席克-阿拉里奥的替补存疑，他错过了最后一次训练。没有他，勒沃库森将被迫在没有前锋的情况下比赛，因为他们没有更多前锋。

勒沃库森是也努力在他们有机会进球。而今天，如果没有他们最好的前锋，也可能没有替补，也会有同样的问题。

另一方面，贝蒂斯的状态惊人。在佩莱格里尼的带领下，他们的表现非常出色，他们是一支非常难以击败的球队。球队充满信心和实力。

2021年全年（仅限正式比赛），他们只输给了强队：皇家马德里、巴塞罗那、塞维利亚、比利亚雷亚尔和马德里竞技。

40 多场比赛中只输了 5 场比赛！ 他们也在周末对阵马德里竞技的比赛中做出了一些轮换（他们以 3:0 输掉了比赛）。一些关键球员休息了，例如费基尔（最佳球员，状态惊人），博尔哈·伊格莱西亚斯（最佳前锋）。圭多（最佳中场）和贝莱林。这意味着贝蒂斯真的很专注于这场比赛。

本场比赛，他们轻松击败费伦茨瓦罗斯（1：3）和凯尔特人（4：3，最后时刻丢球）。

上一场比赛以 1-1 结束，两队进攻并取得了不错的成绩。总的来说，我认为平局是公平的。

由于今年的成绩，贝蒂斯充满信心和动力。真的是一支很难被击败的球队，他们有很多顶级球员，可以参加这样一场大型比赛。由于最近的糟糕表现，勒沃库森的状态比以前更差，而且他们也缺少一些非常重要的关键球员，例如希克或阿兰吉斯。这就是为什么我不不认为他们会有一场轻松的比赛，很有可能平局。预测贝蒂斯不败。
