Tip and bets

1.70Bayer with a head start (-1.5)

At the previous stage of the Cup, Bayer eliminated Bayern from the tournament and clearly outlined their claims to defend the title. Everything is fine with Leverkusen's current form, there is an opportunity to rotate the squad without serious loss in quality. Cologne is currently in the midst of a battle for first place in the second Bundesliga, there are a lot of losses in the squad, especially in the defensive line, and without rotation it will be difficult to counteract the pharmacists today. We expect that the favorite will get to the semifinals without any problems.

Our forecast is for Bayer to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) by a factor of 1.70

1.89Both will score

Bet on the total

Bayer's defense has often started to falter in recent matches. In the previous five matches, we managed to score only once, and there is a high probability that the guests will have chances to score goals today. At the same time, the pharmacists are strong in attack on their own field, have an advantage in class, and it is unlikely that the opponent will stand up.

The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.89

Betting on corners

Let's note a promising trend in angular. In six of the last seven face-to-face meetings, Bayer played at least seven innings from the corner flag. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.

The forecast is that Bayer's total corners are more than 6.5 with a coefficient of 1.60
