Form Analysis

Bayer Leverkusen has shown resilience with a mixed bag of results in their last nine matches, securing four wins, three draws, and two losses. Their recent form, DDLWWDLWW, indicates they are building momentum, especially at home. Conversely, Olympiakos has struggled with consistency, which could be exploited by the home side.

H2H

Historically, Leverkusen has had the upper hand in recent encounters. They won the last matchup 2-0 on February 18, 2026, while Olympiakos had previously won a home game against Leverkusen 2-0 on January 20, 2026. This split in results suggests a competitive edge, yet the recent victory could boost Leverkusen's confidence.

Key Factors

Leverkusen's attacking prowess is evident with 15 goals scored in their last nine matches, despite conceding 14. This balance suggests a potent offense paired with a vulnerable defense. Olympiakos, while capable, must find a way to counter Leverkusen's attacking threats to stand a chance in this crucial tie.

Tactical Preview

Leverkusen's tactical approach is expected to be aggressive, utilizing their home advantage to dominate possession and create goal-scoring opportunities. Olympiakos may adopt a more defensive stance, looking to hit on the counter. The effectiveness of these tactics will be pivotal in determining the match outcome.
