ESS vs LEV Dream11 Match Prediction Essen vs Bayer Leverkusen DFB Pokal 2 February

ESS vs LEV Dream11 Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen will be back in action later tonight in the DFB Pokal as they take on Essen at the Stadio Essen. The last time Leverkusen lifted the cup was way back in 1993, as they look to repeat the heroics this time around. It hasn’t been an easy ride in the league either for Leverkuesen, as they’ve gone on to win just one from their last seven fixtures. Peter Bosz’s men are currently 4th in the Bundesliga with 32 points and will be keen on returning back to their best. Essen, on the other hand are one of the underdogs of the DFB Pokal, but they do have it in them to create an upset. They did manage to beat top flight team Armini Bielefeld, followed by a decent Fortuna Dusseldorf team in the last two rounds. With that being said, here is the ESS vs LEV Dream 11 Prediction for the fixture ahead.

Date: February 2, Tuesday
Kick-Off: 11:00 PM (IST)
Venue: Stadion Essen

Recent Form
Essen: WWWDW
