Bayer Leverkusen v Arsenal Tips, Predictions and 17/1 Bet Builder

11 March – 20:00 | Allianz Arena

UEFA Champions League


Match Preview

Bayer Leverkusen welcome Arsenal to Germany for a mouthwatering Champions League last-16 first leg.

Leverkusen navigated their playoff tie professionally, beating Olympiacos 2-0 away before settling for a goalless draw at home to progress. However, recent form has been patchy — just one win in their last five matches in all competitions — including a chaotic 3-3 Bundesliga draw with Freiburg.

That said, their home form paints a far more positive picture. Die Werkself are unbeaten in six matches at the BayArena, conceding just once in that run. Defensive solidity on home soil could prove key against an Arsenal side who have been ruthless in Europe.

Arsenal were dominant in the league phase, finishing first with eight straight wins. Mikel Arteta’s men scored 23 goals — the most in the competition — and conceded just four, underlining their balance at both ends.

The Gunners travel to Germany on the back of four consecutive wins in all competitions and will see this tie as a genuine opportunity to take control early.

Team News and Predicted Line-Ups

Bayer Leverkusen Team News

Leverkusen have several injury concerns, including Patrik Schick, Nathan Tella and Mark Flekken. Schick has a chance of returning, but Christian Kofane is expected to lead the line if he fails to recover.

Alejandro Grimaldo remains a major attacking outlet from wing-back, especially from set pieces.

Leverkusen predicted XI:
Blaswich; Andrich, Quansah, Tapsoba; Poku, Garcia, Fernandez, Grimaldo; Maza, Terrier; Kofane


Arsenal Team News

David Raya, Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice and Gabriel should return after being rested.

However, William Saliba and Martin Odegaard remain doubts, while Leandro Trossard and Riccardo Calafiori face late fitness tests.

Bukayo Saka and Viktor Gyokeres are expected to spearhead the attack.

Arsenal predicted XI:
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Eze, Martinelli; Gyokeres

Conclusion

Leverkusen’s home resilience makes this far from straightforward, but Arsenal’s structure, firepower and confidence give them the edge.

Expect an entertaining first leg with goals at both ends — but the Gunners to take a narrow advantage back to London.
