Bayer Leverkusen has lost each of its last six games against Barcelona, but the German club can wipe away those bad memories by winning on its seventh attempt.
Barcelona visits Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League Group E finale. Barcelona already has clinched first place in the group and has little to play for.
Bayer Leverkusen can overtake AS Roma for second place and earn a spot in the Round of 16 with a victory over Barcelona and if the Italian club fails to beat BATE Borisov in the group’s other game.
Bayer Leverkusen’s Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez is red-hot, having scored 11 goals in his last 10 games at club level.
Barcelona will be without Neymar, who suffered a groin injury this week in practice. Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez will look to fill the void in Neymar’s absence. Chances are they’ll succeed in this goal-scoring pursuit.
When: Wednesday, Dec. 9, at 2:45 p.m. ET
