Feyenoord is coming into this match with a slight trend to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 3.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 as well as 3 of their 5 matches this season. They have only played in 1 home match this season which ended in a 1-1 draw, but both teams have scored a goal in each of their 5 matches this season. Their only match against a very strong opponent in their league came at the beginning of the season in the Johan Cruijff Schaal, a match that ended in a 4-4 draw with PSV Eindhoven. They are going up against a Leverkusen side that has also been trending to the over in their recent matches. They have gone over 3.5 goals in their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their 5 matches this season. They have seen both teams score a goal in 4 of their 5 matches this season, and 3 of those 5 matches have seen both teams score 2 goals as well. Their attack has been very good as they have scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their 5 matches, scoring 6 goals in their last 2 matches alone, but their defense has also allowed at least 2 goals in 4 of their 5 matches as well as at least 1 goal in 4 of those. When playing away from home, they have gone over 3.5 goals in 2 of their 3 matches this season and they are coming off of a 4-1 win against Hoffenheim in their last match. Leverkusen went to the Europa League Final last season and they were not able to win the title, but they qualified for Champions League by winning the Bundesliga Title and still have one of the better teams in Germany. Champions League will be a focus for them this season and they are going to be pushing to start their campaign with 3 points here. They have a very potent attack that is going to find the net on this Feyenoord defense that has been conceding a lot, but Feyenoord is also going to put up a good fight at home and they have their own potent attack that will find the net against this Leverkusen defense that has not been keeping opponents out either. Between these two sides, there will be enough goals in this match to push it over 2.5 goals.
