Tip and bets
Bayer broke their losing streak and got a win last weekend, but it is too early to say that the team has overcome the crisis. Xabi Alonso still has a long way to go, and while we expect Leverkusen to perform better today, we don't think they will be able to keep a clean sheet. Porto are in better form and they will be taking chances on offense - we sggest playing the Dragons' individual total.
Our prediction – Porto IT over 1 goal
Bayer will strive to get a win at home, but it will be extremely difficult as their opponents are on top form and make few mistakes on the defensive. We think that a draw is more likely here.
Second wager - draw
