Match Preview
Rot-Weiss Essen plays in Germany's third tier and was on the verge of promotion the previous year. Throughout the season, the club played excellent football for its caliber, but in the final 3 rounds, it was only able to pick up 1 point, ending up in seventh place in the championship. The German club managed to play 3 friendly matches in preparation for the upcoming season, and they were happy with their results: 2 convincing victories and 1 tie. It should be mentioned that Rot-Weiss Essen played against amateur teams, hence their opponents were not the strongest.

For their part, Bayer's performance from the previous season makes them deserving of the title of greatest team in the world. "The Pharmacists" only lost once throughout the entire season, to Atalanta in the Europa League final (0-3). In addition, Xabi Alonso's team reached new heights and won the German Cup, securing the much expected championship for Bayer. The German team that is currently crowned champion has not played a friendly yet this preseason; the previous one was on May 25.

Goaloo Prediction
Sportsbooks think Bayer will handle their opponent without any issues, and we do not see any reason to disagree. Rot-Weiss Essen would not be in Germany's third division if there was not a clear class disparity between these two teams. Even without their best players, who have not rejoined the team following international matches, "The Pharmacists" ought to win with ease. So we advise you to pay attention to Bayer’s handicap (-1.5).

Pick: Bayer Leverkusen Handicap(-1.5)
