Barcelona Vs Bayern Leverkusen: UCL (2 - 1) On 29th September 2015 by philfearon(m): 7:08pm On Sep 29, 2015 |
Match preview: Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw by AS Roma on Matchday One and are facing up to life without Lionel Messi after their star talisman suffered knee ligament damage in their 2-1 win over Las Palmas on Saturday.Luis Enrique's side are favourites to progress from the group as comfortable winners, but found it tough going in their opening fixture and are unlikely to have things all their own way.They sit second in the La Liga table, having taken 15 points from a possible 18, leaving them one point adrift of surprise early leaders Villarreal.Barca won all six of their home games in last season's UEFA Champions League and are aiming for a similar devastating display to that which saw them thrash Leverkusen 7-1 in this competition in 2012.The visitors enjoyed a fine start to their Group E campaign as they recorded a 4-1 rout of minnows BATE Borisov a fortnight ago and will be eyeing a repeat performance at the Camp Nou this time out.Bayer occupy fifth spot in the Bundesliga table and are already nine points behind runaway leaders Bayern Munich, making this competition a firm priority.Roger Schmidt's men exited the Champions League on Spanish soil last season after they were beaten 3-2 in a shoot-out by Atlético Madrid after a 1-0 second-leg loss.Leverkusen were 3-0 winners at SV Werder Bremen on Saturday, their biggest Bundesliga victory of the season as Kevin Kampl scored his first league goal for almost 12 months and his first for Leverkusen, as did Admir Mehmedi. Messi joins Claudio Bravo and Rafinha on the sidelines for thehosts, with Thomas Vermaelen and Jordi Alba alsoboth unlikely to feature.Tin Jedvaj, Charles Aranguiz and Omer Toprak remain sidelined for the Bundesliga outfit while Roberto Hilbert remains a serious doubt.Barcelona have won their last five matches against Leverkusen in all competitions, and it looks like taking something extra specialfrom the visitors if they are to avert that becoming six.Even without the sheer brilliance of Messi, Barcelona ooze quality from front to back and will call upon the likes of Neymar, Luis Suarez and Andreas Iniesta to pull the strings.The five-time European Champions have failed to keepa clean sheet in any of their last five matches in all competitions, but are well-fancied to end that mini-drought on home soil and offer additional value to win to nil.Suarez netted a brace in the narrow win over Las Palmas and looks poised to pick up from where he left off by doubling his goals tally in this competition this season. |
