Pre-match talking points

Bayer Leverkusen stand out most in defence, where the comparison reads 55% to 45%. That may be the area they try to lean on.

FCM66 editorial outlook

The current result split is 10% home, 45% draw and 45% away. That gives Bayer Leverkusen or draw the safer lean, although a level finish remains the first result to respect.
