Bayer Leverkusen are enjoying a fantastic period under Xabi Alonso and are one of the favorites for the Europa League. They are unbeaten in 41 matches in all competitions in the 23-24 season. This statistic is an incredible start for Alonso. Leverkusen had a very difficult time against Karabakh in the previous round, but managed to get through and they have a chance to claim the Bundesliga title this weekend.
Leverkusen rotated their squad for the game against Union Berlin and I think they had the opportunity to prepare well for West Ham. Last season's Conference League champions West Ham lost away to Freiburg in the previous round but won the rematch with a different score. Even though things are not going well for West Ham in the Premier League, they will come into this game with extra motivation. Leverkusen are the favorites for this match but I think West Ham have the potential to surprise.
Seems the unbeaten record of Bayern Leverkusen in this season can't stoppable until reaching 41 matches and potential keep continues until the end of this season. Get many points left on domestic league seems has benefit for Bayern Leverkusen on the first leg match against West Ham United, Xabi Alonso without pressure yet on the first leg match against West Ham United on Friday night, one winning match enough to secure Bundesliga tittle and could be confidence for Bayern Leverkusen for treble winner in this season by defeating West Ham on the first leg match.
Xabi Alonso tactician keep effective with some players rotation last match after winning over Union Berlin, most of key players will get the first minutes playing against West Ham and secure the winning result for the first leg to make easily on second leg match. I have predictable with Bayern Leverkusen on the first leg match will win above two or three goals.
