Still without Victor Boniface, Leverkusen will hope to win the battle of two in-form teams when they take on Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.
Leverkusen are in fine form, having won their last five matches across all competitions. This impressive run includes a hard-fought victory over Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich in the DFB-Pokal.
Xabi Alonso’s men have also closed the gap on Bayern in the Bundesliga and consolidated their place in the Champions League top eight with a resounding 5-0 win over Salzburg.
Inter Milan, on the other hand, are also in good shape, with a 13-match unbeaten streak. They currently sit third in Serie A and have yet to lose a game or concede in the Champions League this season.
A narrow 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig in their last Champions League match took them to second in the standings, and a win on Tuesday could seal their spot in the top eight.

In the absence of injured strikers Victor Boniface and Patrik Schick, Nathan Tella and Florian Wirtz have been the go-to guys to lead the line.
However, Wirtz, who has five goals in as many Champions League games so far this term, could be the man to assume false nine duties on Tuesday.
Jonas Hofmann and Amine Adli are also ruled out of this clash due to injuries.
For Inter, Benjamin Pavard is the only player confirmed to be sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Francesco Acerbi and Raffaele Di Gennaro are doubtful.
Lautaro Martinez and Mehdi Taremi have been Simeone Inzaghi's preferred two in attack, but Marcus Thuram could get a chance to start up front.
