After more than two decades, Bayer Leverkusen and Newcastle United meet again, this time at the BayArena in Leverkusen, Germany. Kick‑off is set for 20:00 GMT (21:00 local time) on Wednesday, 10 December.
With both sides sitting in the mid‑table pack of the 36‑team league, points are precious. Leverkusen will hope home advantage helps them overhaul their 17th‑place position while Newcastle, currently 11th, chase a top‑eight finish to avoid the play‑offs.
The last time these clubs met in the Champions League was in 2003, when Newcastle twice got the better of the German side.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Newcastle – Betting Odds
Betting odds show how likely a bookmaker thinks each outcome is and determine how much you could win from your stake. Since odds can change frequently, always check the most up-to-date prices before placing your bet.
Below we cover the main markets for Bayer Leverkusen vs Newcastle betting odds and explain what each type of wager means.
1X2 Betting Odds
The 1X2 market covers the three possible outcomes in a 90‑minute match. “1” refers to the home team winning, “X” to a draw and “2” to the away team winning. Because there are only three outcomes, 1X2 odds usually offer attractive returns but carry more risk than some of the coverage markets described later.
These are the current Leverkusen vs Newcastle odds in this market.
| Leverkusen win (1) | Draw X | Newcastle win (2) |
| 8/5 | 12/5 | 11/8 |
Double Chance Odds
A double‑chance bet reduces the risk by covering two of the three possible outcomes. You can back the home team to win or draw (1X), either side to win (12) or the away team to win or draw (X2).
This market is popular when the underdog has a realistic chance of avoiding defeat or when the favourite rarely loses. And because you are covering two outcomes, the odds are shorter than the straight 1X2 prices.
| 1X – Leverkusen or Draw | 12 – Leverkusen or Newcastle | X2 – Draw or Newcastle |
| 12/25 | 2/7 | 5/12 |
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap betting levels the playing field by giving one team a head start or a deficit. Bookmakers assign a goal handicap (like ±0.5), and the final score is adjusted by that value to settle the bet.
A +0.5 handicap means your team can either win or draw for the bet to land. A -0.5 handicap requires a victory. Handicaps are useful when odds for a straightforward win are short or when you want to back an underdog team with some insurance.
| Handicap | Leverkusen | Newcastle |
| Leverkusen (+0.5) Newcastle (-0.5) |
10/19 | 7/5 |
| Leverkusen (-0.5) Newcastle (+0.5) |
8/5 | 5/11 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
The BTTS market lets you bet on whether both sides will score in the match. Selecting “Yes” means each team must score at least one goal within 90 minutes. Selecting “No” means at least one team keeps a clean sheet.
| Yes | No |
| 3/5 | 6/5 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
Over/Under betting focuses on the combined number of goals in a match. The bookmaker sets a line (commonly 2.5 or 3.5 goals), and you bet on whether the total goals scored by both teams will be over or under that line.
A bet on Over 2.5 goals wins if at least three goals are scored. A bet on Under 2.5 goals wins if two or fewer goals are scored. These markets do not require you to pick a winner and are instead more influenced by factors such as attacking style, defensive solidity and weather conditions.
| Over 2.5 goals | Under 2.5 goals |
| 5/7 | 1/1 |
Correct Score Odds
Correct‑score betting requires you to predict the exact final score at the end of 90 minutes. This market offers longer odds because there are many possible outcomes, and a single goal can make or break your bet. It’s loved by punters looking for high returns who have a strong view on how the match will unfold.
Of course, because of the risk, we recommend staking smaller amounts compared with more forgiving markets such as double‑chance or BTTS. Below are some of the more popular scorelines for Leverkusen v Newcastle along with their current odds.
| 0–0 | 0-1 | 1-1 | 1-2 |
| 12/1 | 9/1 | 16/3 | 17/2 |
