They currently sit third on the standings, a point behind Atletico Madrid in second, the latter who will be coming up against lowly Lokomotiv Moscow on the same night.

As Die Werkself struggle for victory against Juventus, they will keep an eye out for Lokomotiv Moscow, hoping the Russian outfit will pull off an unlikely upset against Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, to harbor any chances of making it past the group phases.

Be sure to psych yourselves up ahead of this game as it promises to be an exciting and enthralling one between two very good footballing sides.

It goes without saying that this is a must-win game for Bayer Leverkusen as they cannot afford any slip-ups to harbor any chances up progressing to the knockout phases of the tournament. As they contend with Juventus at BayArena, they will keep up with proceedings elsewhere in Spain, where Atleti will be taking on basement club Lokomotiv Moscow.

The good news for the home side is that they will be taking on a Juventus side that have already cemented their place at the top of Group D and have absolutely nothing to fight for here.

In that vein, Maurizio Sarri is expected to field a relatively weaker side, resting some of the club’s key players. That way, Die Werkself might just have a good chance of picking up all three points in this fixture.

However, Peter Bosz will be on tenterhooks as this game progresses. Atletico Madrid will welcome rock-bottom Lokomotiv Moscow – the weakest team in Group D – to the fearsome Wanda Metropolitano Stadium with the aim of clinching maximum points. Los Colchoneros are overwhelming favorites to come away with the win, given the home factor as well as the sheer talent within their ranks.

If Atletico Madrid manage to edge out their Russian counterparts, as expected, the outcome of Leverkusen’s game tomorrow night becomes worthless. Win, lose or draw; they will still have to settle for a Europa League spot finish come tomorrow night.

To survive this group’s qualification dog-fight, the hosts will have to see off Juventus while hoping Lokomotiv Moscow spring up an upset against the mighty Aleti.

Juventus, on the other hand, sit atop the standings, six points clear of Atletico Madrid in second place. They have been on a rollercoaster ride so far in the Champions League and will have absolutely nothing to play for in this fixture, given they have already secured progress to the knockout stages. Also, they are guaranteed Group D top-spot already.

Surely, Maurizio Sarri will put out a second-string team for this match which can be considered a dead rubber game for the visitors.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Leverkusen: Mitchell Weiser, Joel Pohjanpalo.

Juventus: Sami Khedira, Aaron Ramsey, Giorgio Chiellini, Mattia Perin, Douglas Costa, Emre Can.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Juventus Predictions

Given the precarious situation the hosts find themselves in right now, they have to be backed as favorites to seal maximum points in this fixture. They will head out of the tunnel with the ultimate aim of snatching all three points from Juventus.

Also, it doesn’t help that Juventus have had it difficult against German oppositions over the years. Hence, expect the hosts to edge out their Italian counterparts in a tightly-contested fixture at BayArena in Leverkusen.
