Tomorrow, October 1, Bayer Leverkusen will host AC Milan in the 2nd round of the UEFA Champions League. The match will kick off at 21:00 Central European Time.
Bayer Leverkusen
After an incredible season last year, Xabi Alonso’s team continues to impress this season. The club managed to retain not only their coach but also all their key players over the summer. In the Bundesliga, Bayer has collected 10 points from 5 matches, with their only defeat coming against RB Leipzig (2-3). In the last round, Leverkusen earned a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich on their home turf.
In the opening round of the Champions League, the “Pharmacists” were outstanding. They scored 4 goals in the first half against Feyenoord in Rotterdam and cruised to a comfortable 4-0 victory, demonstrating their strength.
AC Milan
Milan is undergoing a period of transition after the dismissal of Stefano Pioli and the appointment of Paulo Fonseca. The start of the new season has been challenging for the “Rossoneri.” In their first 3 matches, Milan only secured 2 points, which led to speculation in the media about Fonseca’s potential departure. However, three consecutive victories in Serie A, including a 2-1 triumph over Inter, have eased the pressure. In the previous round, Milan convincingly beat Lecce 3-0 at home.
However, Milan is yet to get on the board in the Champions League. In the opening round, they took the lead against Liverpool at home but eventually conceded three goals, losing the match.
Match Facts
