This is a negative result because the majority of individuals gambled on Leverkusen to win the game, resulting in a tie. When viewed through the lens of the team, the outcome is satisfactory. It has helped the club improve, and they are all improving by drawing away games.
In my perspective, the club performed better in this game, despite Qarabag dominating the game, which was an unexpected result. That is why I do not underestimate a squad like Qarabag because it is capable of surprising us. Things are looking up now that Xabi's team's next game is away.
It will not be funny if Leverkusen loses to Qarabag in the second leg.
If I'm not mistaken Bayer Leverkusen's prematch odds against Qarabag are around @ 1.50 so it's true that many will immediately choose Bayer Leverkusen on the money line because Qarabag doesn't look like a balanced opponent for Bayer, but apparently not because the home team managed to take the lead first, and maybe those who like live match betting will immediately place a new bet with more attractive odds, but I didn't check what the 1X2 odds were when Qarabag was leading 2-0.
This is indeed a bad result but usually Bayer Leverkusen will perform better when the previous match was quite disappointing, and because the second match will be played at home to Bayer Leverkusen, I still believe that this team will qualify for the quarter-finals, by winning the second match even though with a narrow score.
This is what happens when you're playing an away match and experimenting with your team selection. The coach benched more than 3 players from the first team. Fortunately, the home team took the lead first, but unfortunately, they couldn't hold onto it until the end of the match. I believe Bayer Leverkusen doesn't know how to lose; their comeback against Qarabag proved that. I bet on them to come back in the second half, and it worked out. Their fighting spirit has reached another level, and I'm confident this team will qualify for the quarter-finals by winning the second leg match.
Their unbeaten run continues; it looks like they won't rest just yet.
