Match Preview
Bayer Leverkusen U19 will host Salzburg U19 in the UEFA Youth League on November 26, and the match promises to be intriguing given the contrasting recent forms of both teams. Leverkusen has struggled, managing just one draw in their last five matches, while Salzburg arrives with a solid record, having won four of their last five fixtures. This disparity in form could play a crucial role in determining the outcome.
Historically, the two teams have faced each other only once, with Salzburg claiming victory in that encounter. Additionally, both teams have struggled to find the net in their previous matchups, with no games seeing both sides score. This trend could suggest a tactical battle, with Leverkusen needing to tighten their defence against a Salzburg side that has shown the ability to convert chances effectively. The match will take place at the Jugendleistungszentrum Kurtekotten, where home advantage may provide Leverkusen with a much-needed boost. However, given Salzburg's current momentum, they will be keen to assert their dominance once again.
