OFI and Bayer 04 Leverkusen arrive at this Europa League match by clearly different paths. OFI have just won 2-0 at home in this competition, but after that their league form has stumbled repeatedly, most recently losing 3-4 at home, which shows there are still gaps to exploit in their defence. Leverkusen, meanwhile, are on a five-match winning run, scoring heavily and looking the most ready side in this group. OFI are still unbeaten in this competition, but their overall league record is 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats, scoring 11 and conceding 11 in 7 matches. It is clear they carry a threat going forward, but their defence gives away goals easily, especially late in games, where they concede as much as 37% of all their goals. Leverkusen, on the other hand, dominate possession and clearly get more shots on target in their last ten matches. Although they do concede occasionally early in the first half, overall they still control games well. This game is likely to open with Leverkusen pressing and holding the ball, but OFI play at home and have good first-half statistics, leading or drawing at half-time in almost every match. If OFI can defend well in the first half and avoid conceding early, the game will become tougher and the chance of Leverkusen running away with a big win decreases accordingly.
