Under Peter Bosz, this Bayer side attack fluently, but also leak goals at the back. They set up to break down teams with good pressure up front and can be rapid on the ball. Although, it may be this quality that could work against them in a match up against Sarri’s Juventus.
The Bianconeri have had trouble in the past against teams that defend well and sit back in solid defensive lines, but anyone who’s come at them with an attacking set-up has tended to give up the initiative in the game (except Ajax).
The rise of Ramsey
The former Arsenal midfielder is impressing his new boss so much so that Sarri is now playing him in a 4-3-1-2 behind the strikers who have tended to be Cristiano Ronaldo and Paolo Dybala. However, Sarri has hinted that the Argentine could rotate with his compatriot Gonzalo Higuain.
Aaron Ramsey has already scored for Juventus and provides a great threat going forward while also tracking back when asked to do so. He is forming an understanding now with Ronaldo and Dybala that may become the centrepiece of Juve’s attacking threat in many games to come.
With Miralem Pjanic also hitting some goalscoring form, and the likes of Khedira and Matuidi also contributing in front of goal, Sarri’s team have some serious goal threat.
Match Prediction: Juventus 2-1 Bayer Leverkusen
