Liverpool have won four of their previous five meetings with Leverkusen, although their last meeting was more than a decade ago.
Arne Slot’s Liverpool transformation shows no signs of slowing, as the Reds secured their eighth league victory last Saturday. Liverpool overcame a deficit to achieve a remarkable 2-1 win against a determined Brighton and Hove. They return to UEFA Champions League action on Tuesday, holding all nine points from their first three UCL games. So far, they have defeated Milan, Bologna, and Leipzig.
This marks Liverpool’s third Champions League campaign, which started with three wins. They achieved this record during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons. Notably, the Reds have lost just once to Leverkusen in all their previous encounters and will aim to extend that record on Tuesday.
Liverpool will be without Alisson and Elliott for this clash.
Bayer Leverkusen is also unbeaten in its first three UCL 2024/25 matches but dropped points on matchday three. The Black and Reds campaign began with a record 4-0 win over Feyenoord, featuring Florian Wirtz’s brace, the first German to score twice on his UCL debut. They followed with a 1-0 victory over Milan before drawing 1-1 with Champions League debutant Brest.
Xabi Alonso’s quest to retain their Bundesliga title is not going as planned. The Black and Reds currently trail league leaders Bayern by seven points. Leverkusen endured a goalless draw against Stuttgart last Friday in their recent league game. They will hope to return to winning ways when they visit Anfield.
Amine Adli is out until March 2025 with a broken leg, while defender Jeanuel Belocian is sidelined until late November. Nordi Mukiele also remains a doubt after limping off against Stuttgart.

For our first UCL 24-25 League Stage betting prediction for this game, we expect Liverpool to clinch a home victory against Leverkusen. Liverpool has shown strong dominance over German teams in the Champions League, winning eight out of 11 matches (2D, 1L). Additionally, Arne Slot has won 13 of his first 15 games as Liverpool’s manager. The Reds have also secured five wins in their last six home matches, scoring at least two goals in those victories. This impressive performance places them at the top of the Premier League and makes them joint leaders in the Champions League. We anticipate a win for them against Leverkusen on Tuesday.

Both teams feature strong attacking talents and are effective at seizing scoring opportunities. This is clear in their UCL performances, with each team scoring six goals in their opening three matches. Notably, four of Liverpool’s last five games and four of Leverkusen’s last six have resulted in both teams finding the net. Historically, this matchup has seen goals from both sides in five of their previous six encounters. As a result, we expect this trend to continue on Tuesday.

Mohamed Salah has been instrumental for Liverpool again this season. In the Champions League, he has scored 12 goals across his last nine appearances. His most recent UCL goal came against Bologna. Additionally, he assisted MacAllister with his goal in that game. Salah has netted nine goals across all competitions this season and has the quality to deliver when it matters. We expect him to continue his scoring prowess in this upcoming game. Fifa bookies are offering this option at odds of 2.20 (5/4).
