This is not widely available but Bovada slapped a +275 and BetRivers a +260 on Gutierrez Anytime Assist. Leverkusen are HUGE -1430 favourites at home vs Celje with a total set at 4.25, so books are expecting a vast Leverkusen win here.
Leverkusen lost Grimaldo in the off-season but did bring Miguel Gutierrez, who is sort of a "poor man's Grimaldo" in the sense that he is always active down that left flank and even though his shot output is not the same as Grimaldo, his passing is just as good, maybe even better. He does have just 2 assists in 4 matches in the season, but he has 31 crosses in that span (including 17 in a game vs Elversberg), and he is on set piece duty.
He's got 2/4/3/1 Key Passes so far in the season (Passes that led to shots on target) and he will surely get some crosses in for Patrick Schick up front, all it takes is Schick to get his head on the ball properly.
This is a 2* Play on Miguel Gutierrez 1+ Assist (+275 Bovada), line good to +200
