Brest vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions: Surprise package, Brest host high-flying Leverkusen in a Champions League faceoff
Brest have kickstarted their 2024-25 UEFA Champions League campaign with two convincing wins and they will now host Bayer Leverkusen at Stade Roudourou on Wednesday night in their matchday three fixture of the competition. The French outfit are playing their home fixtures at Guingamp as their home ground failed to meet UEFA regulations. Despite that, Brest have had a superb start to their European journey with two victories and will look to extend their winning run in the upcoming match.
Meanwhile, their opponents, Bayer Leverkusen are also coming to this game with a perfect record in Europe. The German champions haven’t had their best start in the Bundesliga this season. They are placed fourth after seven games, securing four wins to start their league campaign. However, they secured a 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in their preceding Bundesliga clash heading into this match.

Head-to-Head Report: Brest vs Bayer Leverkusen
This will be Bayer Leverkusen’s first time facing Brest in European competition. The German outfit have won only once in their five away trips in the Champions League (D1, L3).
Brest
Brest finished third in Ligue 1 last season their best finish in 121 years. Courtesy of their performance, they secured Champions League qualification. The French outfit have started their campaign with two wins against Sturm Graz and a 4-0 hammering against RB Salzburg in the last UCL clash.
Eric Roy’s men will start as underdogs in this upcoming clash. Their main hope of scoring goals will be from their attacking duo of Ludovic Ajorque and Abdallah Sima. However, Roy will miss the services of Bradley Locko, who is sidelined with a ruptured tendon. But Massadio Haidara will return to action following a domestic suspension.
Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen have had a rocky start to their Bundesliga campaign. However, they won their first two clashes in the Champions League against teams like Feyenoord and Milan. They will aim to extend their winning run in Europe with a win against Brest.
Star player Florian Wirtz suffered an ankle injury during his time with Germany during the international break. However, he made a cameo last weekend and may play a bigger role in the upcoming match. Their biggest blow will be the absence of Victor Boniface, who will miss the Brest game after suffering injuries from a car accident over the weekend.
