Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen predictions
Liverpool 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen (9/1 with Sky Bet)
Liverpool have won five of their last six Champions League home matches, four by a two-goal margin. The Reds have been in fine form, losing just one game in all competitions so far this season and sitting top of the Premier League as well as being joint top of the Champions League group phase. Clean sheets have been a big part of their success, with seven so far this season.
Mohamed Salah to score anytime (11/10 with Paddy Power)
Mohamed Salah has scored in seven of Liverpool’s previous nine Champions League fixtures (nine goals). The Egyptian doesn’t look like he’s missed a step, netting seven times in the the league this season and once in the Champions League. He found the net at the weekend against Brighton and this represents another chance to prove he’s still the main man at Anfield.

The showdown between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen kicks off on Tueday, 5th November, at 8pm and will be broadcast live in the UK on Amazon Prime Video.
How both teams go into Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen
Liverpool are perfect following wins over Milan, Bologna and Leipzig with Arne Slot’s team displaying solid defensive capabilities, conceding only once, and that was against Milan. The match saw an early lead from Milan through Christian Pulisic, but Liverpool quickly turned the game around with three unanswered goals. Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk showcased their attacking prowess, equalising and putting Liverpool ahead, respectively. Dominik Szoboszlai would then ensure the victory. Next time out, Liverpool capitalised on their momentum, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah punishing the wasteful Bologna side.
Xabi Alonso returns to Anfield with Bayer Leverkusen firing on all cylinders in Europe’s premier competition. The Bundesliga champions began their campaign after two years away with a resounding 4-0 win at Feyenoord, with all four strikes coming in the opening 45 minutes. Things were less straightforward the next time they were out, as they claimed a slender 1-0 success over Milan at home, with Victor Boniface netting the game’s only goal. They could only muster a 1-1 draw against Brest, last time out however.
Liverpool host Bayer Leverkusen at Anfield on Wednesday 5th November at 8pm.

Liverpool will be without Alisson who is set to be out until the end of next month after suffering a thigh injury during Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.
Harvey Elliot remains sidelined for another few weeks as he returns from a foot injury, and he’s joined in the injury room by Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa. There are also major doubts over Ibrahima Konate, who was taken off early against Brighton at the weekend.
