Outside Barcelona who need just one point in the remaining two games to qualify to the Knockout Phase as the top team in Group E, the rest of the members in the group need to win their remaining games keep up their hopes of qualifying for the next stage. Essentially, that’s the reason both BATE and Bayer Leverkusen will treat their Tuesday soccer betting odds encounter as a must-win game. A victory for BATE will ensure they go third or second if Roma loses to Barcelona. If Leverkusen wins, they will be able to go second, heaping pressure on Roma and ensuring BATE’s qualification hopes come to an end. Bearing all that in mind, below is an online betting preview of the BATE vs. Bayer clash.
BATE, on the other hand, have struggled in Europe, gathering just three points from four games. They have conceded the highest number of goals, with 11, and have scored just four which is the least in the group. Even so, they will be playing at home and a win will keep their hopes alive, especially if Roma doesn’t get a winning result. Given they have missed the knockout stage on four straight attempts, and considering their concerning run this season in the Champions League, there’s barely much to hope for here. But then again, soccer betting is always full of surprises, so we can’t rule out an upset from BATE in this game.
