Liverpool remain one of only two teams to win all three of their Champions League matches. Milan, Bologna and Leipzig have not been able to do much against Liverpool. Arne Slot’s team regained sole possession of the Premier League title at the weekend. The hosts have the hardest stretch of the season, on which they simply do not have weak opponents, but the Reds pass it with honor. In the last five games they lost points only with Arsenal.
At Bayer lately things are not going the best way. The guests failed to beat the last three serious opponents. They managed only with modest Elversberg in the German Cup, but this is a weak consolation after two failures in the Bundesliga and one in the Champions League. Last round, Bayer unexpectedly failed to beat Brest, although it was considered the favorite and even opened the scoring. Alonso’s men are in a slump, they even started scoring less than usual.
