- 勒沃库森在最近20场主场比赛中赢了15场
- 萨尔茨堡本赛季输掉了四场欧冠比赛中的三场
- 拜耳最近14场主场比赛中有8场进球超过3.5个
苦苦挣扎的萨尔茨堡将再次失利
上个赛季，萨尔茨堡队以第二名的成绩落后于格拉茨风暴队，放弃了对奥地利德甲冠军长达十年的垄断。
许多人预计他们会立即反弹，但事实恰恰相反，周六萨尔茨堡队以2比1负于拉斯克队，使他们落后领先者14分，排名第五。
他们糟糕的国内状态在很大程度上也转化为欧冠联赛，奥地利队在前四场比赛中只拿到了三分，在周末失利后，很难想象他们会在对阵像勒沃库森这样强大的球队的比赛中再添一分。
勒沃库森可能会放松
在上个赛季保持不败之后，德国冠军队也出现了一些下滑，但他们在周六击败海登海姆时反映出了接近他们辉煌的最佳状态，他们可以在对阵苦苦挣扎的萨尔茨堡的比赛中放松下来
哈维·阿隆索的球队在本赛季的8场主场比赛中攻入19球，他们可能会让萨尔茨堡队在9月份以3比0输给布拉格斯巴达队，而这支球队在随后的12场比赛中只赢了3场。
拜耳最近14场主场比赛中有8场进球超过3.5个，周二的比赛很可能会取得高分主场胜利。
- Bayer Leverkusen have won 15 of their last 20 home matches
- Salzburg have lost three of their four Champions League games this term
- Eight of Bayer’s last 14 home matches have gone over 3.5 goals
Struggling Salzburg set for another defeat
A ten-year long stranglehold on the Austrian Bundesliga title was relinquished by Salzburg last term as they finished second behind Sturm Graz.
Many expected them to bounce back immediately but, in fact, the opposite has occurred, as Salzburg’s 2-1 defeat to Lask on Saturday left them 14 points off the leaders and fifth in the table.
Their poor domestic form has largely translated over to the Champions League too, with the Austrian side picking up just three points from their opening four games and, following their weekend defeat, it is hard to envisage them adding to that tally against a team as strong as Bayer Leverkusen.
Leverkusen likely to cut loose
The German champions have also had a bit of a drop off following last season’s unbeaten run to the title, but they mirrored something close to their brilliant best when thrashing Heidenheim on Saturday and they could cut loose against a struggling Salzburg.
Xabi Alonso’s men have netted 19 goals across their eight home games this term and they could put a Salzburg side who, in September, lost 3-0 at Sparta Prague, a team who have won just three of their subsequent 12 matches, to the sword.
Eight of Bayer’s last 14 home matches have featured over 3.5 goals and a high-scoring home win seems a likely outcome for Tuesday’s clash.
