In terms of the Man City vs Bayer Leverkusen Champions League 2025 winner odds, Leverkusen are out at 126 (125/1), which underlines why they are considered the underdog for this match. Continue below as we assess the Man City vs Leverkusen odds and make our Man City vs Leverkusen betting prediction.

1. Man City vs Leverkusen Champions League Preview

We begin our Man City vs Leverkusen betting tips with the full details of this huge night in the Champions League. The match will be played on the 25th of November at the Etihad Stadium. This will be the fifth fixture for both teams in the competition this season and the third home game for Manchester City before they embark on two consecutive away trips. This is the third away fixture for Leverkusen and their second in succession following a trip to Lisbon to play Benfica.

2. Man City vs Leverkusen Team News

One of the key aspects when making a Man City vs Leverkusen prediction is the team news. The only major injury concern for the hosts at the time of writing is central midfielder Mateo Kovacic, who is not expected to return this year. Leverkusen will travel without captain Robert Andrich, who is completing his two match ban following a red card at PSG. Exequiel Palacios and Equi Fernandez are both expected to miss out due to injury but Axel Tape-Kobrissa, Lucas Vazquez, and Nathan Tella could all return from injury. Pep Guardiola spoke after the 3-0 victory against Liverpool to praise how his team have evolved this season to make it harder for opposing teams to know what to expect when facing City, he stated:

We are more unpredictable in the way we attack and defend and that is good that the opponents don’t know what we are going to do. - Pep Guardiola, Sports Illustrated

The Man City vs Leverkusen predicted lineups are important because should a key player be missing, such as Erling Haaland for Man City, it could significantly improve the chances of the opposition.

5. Man City vs Leverkusen Predictions

Trends show Leverkusen have won 1 of their last 6 away Champions League games and last time they were on English soil in November 2024, they lost 4-0 at Liverpool. Man City are undefeated in 24 of their 25 most recent home Champions League matches and have won each of their 2 home fixtures in the competition this season. So, given the form of the two teams and the stats this season, our first Man City vs Leverkusen prediction is for Man City to win at 1.22 (2/9) with bet365.

The Man City vs Leverkusen win betting market odds are not great when backing Man City so we must look at other betting markets for this match. The Man City vs Leverkusen both teams to score market is interesting considering the number of goals Man City have scored in the Champions League this season and the fact Leverkusen have scored in each of their 4 Champions League fixtures this season. That suggests both teams could score at 1.75 (3/4) but if we combine that with a Man City win, we have odds of 2.5 (6/4) at bet365.

That leads us nicely to the Man City vs Leverkusen over under bet. If we believe Man City are going to win with both teams scoring, we must see at least over 2.5 goals. However, there have been over 3.5 goals in 2 of Man City’s 4 Champions League matches this season and 50% of Leverkusen’s games in the competition. We could see more of the same in this match and you can back over 3.5 goals at 2 (1/1) with bet365.

A Man City vs Leverkusen correct score bet is not easy to predict. However, we believe Man City could score at least 3 goals in this match, with Leverkusen finding the back of the net once, as they have done in 2 of their 4 Champions League matches this season. A 3-1 Man City win is 10 (9/1) at bet365.

The last of our Man City vs Leverkusen betting picks is for the goal scorer market. Erling Haaland has scored in each of Man City’s 4 Champions League games this season, twice as first goal scorer. So, it makes sense to back the Norwegian in the first goal scorer market at 3.25 (9/4) with bet365.
