Soccer fans are in for a treat! The World Cup in Qatar is less than a month away, and many matches must be played before that time. One of them is Bayer Leverkusen vs Brugge, for the closing matchday of the Champions League group stage.
The last team in Group B receives the surprising leader, who must win this match if they want to secure first place in their zone and have a round of 16 series against a team that finishes second, which in theory is supposed to be easier If not, it will depend on what happens with Porto, their runner-up, in the game at Dragao against Atlético Madrid.

Bayer Leverkusen Preview
Bayer Leverkusen’s season in the Champions League 2022 has been awful, with only one win and one draw, the latter surprisingly eliminating none other than Atlético Madrid prematurely.
Let’s say that this match is played to continue to snatch Atlético‘s third place, which is equivalent to a ticket to the Europa League. But on the other side, they will have to play against the group leader, who needs to win to secure the first place.
Everything seems to indicate that they will not get a happy result, given that their bad moment in Europe is also in line with their performance in the Bundesliga, the domestic competition, where they are 15th with only 9 points in 11 games played.
Probable lineup: Lukáš Hrádecký, Odilon Kossounou, Tapsoba, Piero Hincapié, Jeremie Frimpong, Robert Andrich, Nadiem Amiri, Mitchel Bakker, Moussa Diaby, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Adam Hložek.
Brugge preview
The Belgian team surprised with a masterful start that allowed them to lead Group B at all times. However, they suffered a reality check in their last two matches, with a draw and an embarrassing 4-0 home defeat by their closest rivals, Porto of Portugal.
If they want to qualify for the round of 16 as the leader of their zone, they must win, and if they draw or lose, they must wait for the end of the match between Porto and Atlético Madrid to know if they finish first or second based on goal difference.
DT Carl Hoefkens is expected to line up the same 11 that took the field last week.
Probable lineup : Simon Mignolet, Denis Odoi, Brandon Mechele, Abakar Sylla, Tajon Buchanan, Casper Nielsen, Raphael Onyedika, Hans Vanaken, Andreas Skov Olsen, Noa Lang, Ferran Jungla.
JefeBet Prediction
At JefeBet we believe that Brugge will win the match. Despite suffering a heavy blow at home, the German team has no strength to match the Group B leaders. They must win, and if they want to send a message to the rest that they are serious about the title, then they must show their teeth on their trip to Germany.
Prediction: Brugge wins 2-0.
