Both Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen have shown a clear tendency toward high-scoring games, with an average of over 3 goals per match across both their last 20 games.
Liverpool's attack, powered by the likes of Salah, Diaz, and Núñez, has scored 2 or more goals in 8 of their last 10 games, though they’ve also conceded in half of these matches.
Similarly, Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz and Victor Boniface have driven their offense to score at least twice in 6 of their last 10 away games, while also conceding in seven of their last 10 games.
With both teams offensive firepower and tendency to also allow a goal to slip, a match with BTTS and over 2.5 goals is likely.
Both attacks should be busy this game as two of the top scoring sides in their respective leagues meet.
Salah is averaging three shots per game in the Premier League and Boniface is averaging 4.4 in the Bundesliga.
Salah has hit the target in every game this season bar two and has hit the target twice in 2/3 Champions League games and 7/10 Premier League games.
