Verdict

BT4Y analyst view

BT4Y analyst view: Over that scoring level is the preferred angle because four of Newcastle’s five friendlies and all six of Leverkusen’s have featured over 2.5 goals, reflecting both teams’ attacking tendencies and defensive vulnerabilities. The Over 2.5 trend is 80% for Newcastle and 100% for Bayer Leverkusen, so the goals angle is not just a price call. That statistic is partly a reflection of their own attacking output, but the Forest loss also showed they are not immune at the other end.
