Bayer Leverkusen vs Betis Prediction: the Hosts Will Secure 1st Home Victory

Prediction for the friendly fixture between Bayer Leverkusen vs Betis, which will take place on August 10th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams’ conditions! Several betting options are available.

Bayer had a fantastic last season. They won the Bundesliga for the first time and the German Cup for the second time. They also made it to the Europa League final, where they unfortunately lost to Atalanta 0:3. After such a successful year, the demand for players was high. Still, almost all the leaders managed to keep their spots. On top of that, the hosts strengthened the squad by signing defender Jeanuël Belocian from Rennes, midfielder Aleix Garcia from Girona, and forward Martin Terrier from the same Rennes. In the summer, Bayer beat Essen 2:1, drew with Lens 2:2, and lost to Arsenal 1:4.

Betis had a pretty good season last year. The team played at their usual level and finished in seventh place in the standings, which means they'll be in the UEFA Conference League next year. They kept almost all of their key players during the off-season. Chadi Riad, Abner, and German Pezzella are the only noteworthy losses. The visitors got a good deal and bought Romain Perraud and Diego Llorente, while Ricardo Rodriguez and Adrian came as free agents. In the preseason, Betis beat Austria and Al-Ittihad 5:1 and 4:1, drew with Cádiz 0:0, and Liverpool and Man United lost 0:1 and 2:3.

Bayer had a rough last season. Not only did they avoid defeat in the Bundesliga, but they also played as many matches as possible in the German Cup and Europa League. On top of that, many of the Leverkusen players were called up to play for their countries over the summer, so the hosts got back to work later than many other teams. Nevertheless, they're gradually getting back into shape, and their first home game is coming up. The team they'll be up against is Betis, who haven't had much luck in friendly matches recently. 

Bayer's last season was a hit with fans, who loved the team's numerous victories and the bright, productive style of play they displayed in attack. The Leverkusen team has been putting in some good performances during preseason. In the three matches, they have scored and conceded 12 goals (4.00 average per game), which is par for them. We can look forward to a great match in the hosts' first home game of the summer.
