Xabi Alonso’s Side Quickly Adjusts to Champions League
Leverkusen were one of the stories of the 2023-24 season after winning their maiden Bundesliga crown.
However, their unbeaten record would ultimately end in the Europa League final at the hands of Serie A side Atalanta.
Defensive issues have been evident in the Bundesliga this term, but it was hard not to have been impressed by their dominant showing on opening night in the Champions League.
Florian Wirtz netted twice in a 4-0 win on the road against Feyenoord. It was their joint-biggest win in Champions League history, and their biggest away success in any European competition since a 4-0 success at Celtic in 2021-22.
Paulo Fonseca Still Facing Questions Over Future
The pressure on Paulo Fonseca was eased with a Milan derby success over Inter, but that was one of just two wins in six across all competitions this term for the Rossoneri.
Opening night ended in disappointment for Milan after suffering a 3-1 loss at the San Siro against Liverpool. Christian Pulisic was the only bright spark for Milan in that defeat, with the U.S. international opening the scoring after four minutes.
However, Milan will be confident ahead of this trip to Germany. The Italian giants have won 41% of their matches against sides from the Bundesliga.
But, it is worth mentioning that they failed to win in two matches against Borussia Dortmund in the group stage last term.
Bayer Leverkusen vs. AC Milan Prediction: Convincing Win for Xabi Alonso’s Men
Aside from Leverkusen’s defeat against Atalanta in the Europa League final last term, the German side has avoided defeat in three of their last four matches against teams in Serie A.
The attacking players at Alonso’s disposal could be the key factor this week, and we could see them overcoming their Italian rivals in an entertaining fixture at BayArena.
Pick
- Bayer Leverkusen to win to nil
