Bayer Leverkusen will visit AC Milan in what promises to be a very contested encounter between two teams with vastly different fortunes in their respective divisions. Leverkusen is now at the top of the Bundesliga, having shown consistent consistency this season, notably their tendency to score first in games. Their offensive prowess typically helps them to gain an early advantage, and playing at home will only boost their confidence. The atmosphere at BayArena will be electric as they try to preserve their league-leading position and continue their excellent streak of scoring first, putting instant pressure on Milan’s defense.
On the other hand, AC Milan has lately had a mixed run of form. Despite remaining competitive in Serie A, their stunning Champions League loss to Liverpool has shaken their confidence. That setback highlighted flaws, notably in their defense, which Leverkusen will try to exploit. Milan will need to rebound swiftly or risk slipping farther behind in the rankings. Despite having talented players like Rafael Leão and Olivier Giroud, the team must fight hard to overcome their recent form and Leverkusen’s home advantage.
