The Europa League is back in action, and in this match Lech Poznań host Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Both teams need points to push forward as far as possible in this competition. Lech Poznań just lost 0-4 to Bayer 04 Leverkusen in this competition in mid-September, but after that they bounced straight back with wins in the league by scores of 4-1 and 5-1. Their league record is 7 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, 21 scored, 8 conceded, which are good numbers, but it must be admitted that the previous meeting with Leverkusen was the day they were overrun at home. Bayer 04 Leverkusen are in a spell where they are playing to their own standard, on a winning run and unbeaten in their recent matches, having just won 4-3 in the Bundesliga in their latest game. Their league record is 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, 14 scored, 8 conceded. The attack is still working well, but the defense has also conceded in every recent match. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end from the start, because Lech Poznań must play at home and want to make amends for the last result, while Leverkusen already play a mainly attacking game. What to watch is how well Lech Poznań cope with Leverkusen's attacking rhythm early on. If they let the other side score first, the game could flow the same way as before.
