Darmstadt vs Bayer Leverkusen  Betting Tips: Leverkusen and Over 1.5 Goals

Leverkusen are set to travel to Darmstadt, aiming to recover from an unexpected scoreless draw with Monchengladbach last weekend. Despite winning seven and drawing two of their last nine games, with a remarkable 23 goals scored, Leverkusen lost their first home points due to a tenacious BMG side.

Leverkusen, currently leading the division with a two-point advantage over the reigning champions Bayern, remains undefeated in 29 competitive matches in all competitions this season.

Now back on the road, Leverkusen is optimistic about securing another three points against their underperforming hosts. Xabi Alonso’s team has had an impressive performance this season with seven wins and two draws out of nine road games, netting a remarkable 21 goals in the process.

On the contrary, Darmstadt is currently battling for their survival in the Bundesliga as they go into Friday’s match. They are at the bottom of the division with a mere 11 points, leaving Torsten Lieberknecht’s team six points away from safety.

Darmstadt has been having a hard time performing well on their home turf, having only gathered six points from ten games. In their recent seven home matches, The Lilies have suffered five losses, however, they managed to secure a 2:2 draw against Eintracht in their most recent game.

While Leverkusen should not expect an easy day´s work, I am confident the visitors will have more than enough quality to maintain their advantage at the top of the division. I´m backing Leverkusen to win with at least two goals scored.
