Although Liverpool currently has a new coach, they can play well, so that is a very good capital for them before this match really takes place. Xabi Alonso as Leverkusen coach will also definitely apply full vigilance, they will try to steal points from away games, at least their target is 1 point.
After seeing Liverpool performance in yesterday's match against Arsenal in the domestic league, I agree with you that the bad result obtained by both teams is only a draw. Because even though Leverkusen is only a guest in the upcoming match, Alonso will certainly try to use the previous strategy not to lose in the match and get 1 point which is more valuable than losing points. Even so, I really hope Arne Slot can break Alonso strategy and bring home full points.

There are so many big matches in the 4th round of the Champions League this season, one of which is the meeting between Liverpool vs Leverkusen. Last season we had hoped that they would meet in the final round of the Europa League, but that did not happen because Liverpool had to be eliminated from the Europa League by the team that also eliminated or thwarted Leverkusen from becoming champions in the Europa League, Atalanta.
Their meeting will also satisfy our curiosity about the meeting of these two teams that we have been waiting for last season. But of course there will be something that changes and that might be a difference. I prefer Liverpool as the favorite in this match, what about you?
It will be an interesting match and interesting flashback to Xabi Alonso who was at Liverpool before moving to Real Madrid so the atmosphere will be a little different for now.
But believe that Liverpool can win it in my prediction although the match will be tight, we know Leverkusen is now a little fierce where Liverpool must also be careful in their game.

From the performance of the two teams is very different even though the results are the same but Liverpool will be more confident when playing at home and Leverkusen certainly if not ready to accept the obstacles the confidence of the players will decrease when Liverpool supporters start to give support to their favorite team.
If the odds are big, I will bet on Liverpool victory.
Although Liverpool currently has a new coach, they can play well, so that is a very good capital for them before this match really takes place. Xabi Alonso as Leverkusen coach will also definitely apply full vigilance, they will try to steal points from away games, at least their target is 1 point.
I think many people make Liverpool the favorite in the match because Leverkusen does not have much good experience in the Champions League and Liverpool more often participates in the Champions League has a good history and that greatly affects the mentality of the players, but because the arrangement of the Champions League this season is different and not the group system again every draw is not something scary and they can still get 3 points in other matches against different clubs in 8 matches so the possibility of a draw can still happen because Leverkusen has also played quite well in the Champions League so far and has not felt defeat but if I decide to bet it is better to choose the BTTS option.
Liverpool has a rich history in the UEFA Champions League having won it six times. They have also been consistent in the competition which entails that most players in the club have UCL experience. They are also having a good experience this season, winning all their three games in the competition. The Xabi Alonso team might be young and inexperienced but they are also in top form. They have enjoyed an unbeaten run in three games, winning two with one draw. Both of them played a 2-2 draw in their recent league games with Leverkusen conceding a painful goal in the 90th munites. A draw in this game is highly feasible considering the recent matches of both teams.

But the match against Leverkusen will definitely be fierce. But both teams will most likely score each other's goals. And I'm sure of it.

Liverpool playing at Anfield against Bayer Leverkusen is definitely going to be a cracker of a game but predicting such game I don't think should be a big issue because Liverpool is simply the better team with a better quality of players in their squad and playing in front of their home games gives them another advantage to pick all three points from that game.
Bayer Leverkusen will approach the game with the mentality of getting a result from the game which will make them be at their best but if at the end they don't get a point as well as avoid heavy defeat, then I don't expect them to be too disappointed because not many teams comes to Anfield to get a win against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League
It's just that in this case several possibilities can still occur, especially the fatigue factor can be one of the things that is difficult to avoid.
In addition, for Liverpool even though they are currently a little better but in the end whether we realize it or not for now we can see that their attacking productivity is a little bad even with the many goals scored by Liverpool for now it is not uncommon for the defenders to contribute more than the strikers so the Slot must improve this if they still want 3 points because after all even though they score goals but when only playing defense can do it then this can also backfire for them.
The way Bayern lost the game didn't have that much to do with the coach. You could argue that their positioning was bad and that they were extremely susceptible to deep passes, but I doubt that Kompany told his players to take positions where they are literally out of sight of the Barcelona strikers. The goals were scored too easily. Raphinha made a great move technically when he forwarded the ball with the chest, but that pass should not happen like that and if it does, the defenders of Bayern should be fast enough to be able to intervene, but they looked very slow against Raphinha. If you want to win the Champions League, you need some high speed defenders and strikers. Barcelona has both, Bayern doesn't.
The defense was somehow weak a little but I still think the game was a pure logic one, you do know that the game could be totally different if the Harry kane goal wasn't disqualified because of offside and they eventually had their 2 - 1 lead, we should have seen a total different game with that imo, at the same time both team manager have their logic way of playing... to me I think Bayern manager was aiming for last minute goal rush( with his subs) but it didn't go as planned, Barcelona looked for the perfect chances especially when the opponent team defence is relaxed & aiming for goal, that's it ! the perfect time to strike and put more pressure to win more goals... not blaming the coach for his logic but experience matters sometimes 
That's right, there are two more matches that Liverpool and Leverkusen must face first in domestic competition, and of course many things can happen in their two matches. For now, it is difficult to predict the chances of each team, we admit that statistically Liverpool performs slightly better than Leverkusen. Liverpool has the advantage because they act as hosts, but Xabi Alonso is certainly no stranger to Anfield, it is one of the best bitmatches in the 4th round in my opinion.
Liverpool next trip will be easier, as they face Brighton in the Premier League and the Carabao Cup. While Leverkusen will have a tough challenge against Stuttgart, their DFB Pokal tie against Elversberg looks like a walkover.
Today both team did faced some tough teams in their domestic league where Liverpool suffered a defeat and Leverkusen did had a draw, they have one more domestic league game before they both meat, but could these games neither of them is winning in their domestic league become a problem for them, well the fact remains that somehow the performance of various teams in champions League as compared to their domestic league use to at some point be different, could this be one of such cases? Let's hope for the best. Liverpool next trip will be easier, as they face Brighton in the Premier League and the Carabao Cup. While Leverkusen will have a tough challenge against Stuttgart, their DFB Pokal tie against Elversberg looks like a walkover.

I think the match is still far since both teams will still play in the league before the champions league match and it is uncertain if any of the team's key players will be injured before the game which I think could affect the performance of the teams but aside that, Liverpool still remain the favourite in the game and the knowledge of Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso to the team has no effect on the performance of Liverpool who are unbeaten in the competition so far.
Liverpool is better than Leverkusen in general performance this season I think they can only drop points by playing draw but I don't think Bayer Leverkusen will be able to defeat them.

This is an interesting match especially for Alonso. But unfortunately Leverkusen's performance in the Bundesliga has decreased slightly, they are not as strong as last season, on the other hand Liverpool has consistently maintained its performance every season and another advantage of playing at Anfield of course this will increase the confidence of the players, even so I do not deny that this match will be tight because both teams are big teams in their respective leagues and have the same ability to win the match but still if I have to choose one Liverpool is my favorite.
Yep. This will be a special match because the match will be held in Anfield. Alonso was Liverpool player, he must feel like he comes back to home. However, it is an old story, he must focus more on preparing Leverkusen players. Moreover, Leverkusen performance is decreasing a lot, they got 2 draws in the last 2 matches. Alonso must ensure that he will use the best players in the starting lineup because he will play a strong team from EPL. Liverpool is amazing this season, they are still unbeaten in UCL. Liverpool also performed good in domestic competition. With this fact, Leverkusen seems to have a tight match with Liverpool. But I also still favor Liverpool to win the match because Liverpool is in good form and they look more consistent in each match recently.

What Atalanta did amazing truthfully and they deserved it. For this game, I'd want to side with Bayern Leverkusen because I can't support a rival even if they're in the Champions league competition. They're in a solid form which has seen them winning three out of the three games they have played in the Champions league competition. ( Ac Milan, Bolonga and lastly RB Leipzig ), but I'm changeling Bayern Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso who will be facing his former club to beat them or share points with them finally. Games like this will tell of Xabi Alonso can handle a bigger club ahead in the future. This thing is that Bayern Leverkusen are also striving and will find it difficult to win at Anfield.
I think the match is still far since both teams will still play in the league before the champions league match and it is uncertain if any of the team's key players will be injured before the game which I think could affect the performance of the teams but aside that, Liverpool still remain the favourite in the game and the knowledge of Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso to the team has no effect on the performance of Liverpool who are unbeaten in the competition so far.

For some reason, I think this game will be a draw. Liverpool have a series of tough games in the Premier League and the game with Bayer will be between the games with Brighton and Aston Villa. Today, Liverpool has already lost 2 points and I think they will be focused on the Premier League to keep up with City at a critical distance. Bayer has similar problems, so maybe we will see a paradoxical (considering the teams' performance) goalless draw.
It was an unreasonable defeat considering the quality of players owned by Bayern Munich but in fact Barcelona became a nightmare for Kompany when he did not have the mentality and experience as a coach. The opportunities owned by Bayern Munich in the second half were not finished well by the players and instead they followed the rhythm of Barcelona's game which ultimately suffered a very painful defeat.
I also saw Barcelona players who were much smarter in providing unexpected passes and traps in every match so that when their opponents started to follow their rhythm, of course it would be more beneficial for Barcelona because they could complete every opportunity better. And Bayern Munich's defeat has become quite accurate evidence that Barcelona this season is very different and Bayern Munich still has to prepare more tactics and their mentality when they return to the Champions League match this season.I think it's funny when you say it's an unreasonable defeat, I wonder, how or why is it unreasonable? Because after all, the fact is that Barcelona is superior in many aspects, such as Barcelona also plays at home and basically Barcelona also has a better coach. Although indeed, that Bayern Munich also looks good so far but yes, for me Bayern Munich is still not strong enough to compete against other top teams in the Champion League.
Thus, basically the winning result for Barcelona is a reasonable result because after all, I also bet for Barcelona to win without a doubt and not only that, because the match in El Clasico also I still choose Barcelona to win. Because obviously, at this moment I was really impressed with the success of Hansi Flick, so I don't doubt the quality of Barcelona this season.

What is certain is that Liverpool is more favored than Leverkusen, the squad coached by Arne Slot will aim for a win at home to further secure their position. Leverkusen is the same, Alonso doesn't want his team to come to Anfield to lose. Unfortunately, Liverpool is not an easy team for Leverkusen to beat. In the Domestic League, Leverkusen's performance seems to have declined, in 8 matches they have 3 draws, 1 loss and the rest won. Leverkusen's defense is a little unstable and they have conceded 15 goals in the Bundesliga. In Liverpool's camp, Arne Slot's team has played 3 matches by getting full points and the match against Leverkusen will be their target, especially since it will be held at The Red's headquarters. The reason is, next Liverpool will host Real Madrid and Madrid also needs a win to secure their position. what is certain, both teams will first focus on their Domestic League before the Champions League group stage round 4 is held. I hope this match is exciting, offering an interesting fight especially from the team coached by Xabi Alonso.

Round 4 will be tough games because so many strong clubs are facing off, which I appreciate. FIFA has made the Champions League more fascinating than ever before, because it is no longer sweet if a team is in the group stage, but now any club can face various opponents in one to six games. Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool will be a difficult game to watch because both are in good form and neither will want to lose a point, but because Liverpool is playing at home, they will have a greater advantage in defeating Leverkusen in the game.
What I'm worried about is that Xabi Alonso is a brilliant coach who can use his talent to get three points against Liverpool, but he won't get it easy because they're in better shape this season and are playing Arsenal today. So, if they can defeat Arsenal, I believe they still have a chance to win Leverkusen since several of Arsenal's players are injured, which I believe they can utilize to their advantage and score three points against Arteta. And Real Madrid will meet Ac Milla, and Madrid will not want to lose to Ac Milla, and I believe them because they do not play in the Champions League. Let's see how round 4 goes and who will advance to rounds 8 and 16.
Both Liverpool and Leverkusen have not lost in the Champions League. Liverpool's win against Leipzig in the third match definitely serves a big boost to their confidence. This is because Leipzig and Leverkusen are also from the same league and currently Leipzig are in second place in the Bundesliga, neck to neck with Bayern Munich at the top of the standing.
Liverpool's victory against Leipzig not only proved their strength but also proved that they can be really competitive against Bundesliga sides. However, Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso has also performed very well of late, so this game will be an interesting test for Liverpool to show how they cope with such a tactically intelligent coach. Despite the fact that Liverpool will be playing at Anfield, where they will have the 12th man to give them an extra lift, this game remains a nervy affair as both teams are desperate to maintain their perfect form this campaign.
