About this match
**Leverkusen's in the mood to remind Europa League what dominance looks like** — the Bundesliga heavyweights are rolling, and Celje just walked into the wrong bracket. 🔴⚫
Bayer are on a 3-1-1 tear with that slick 4-0 hammering of Union Berlin fresh in the legs. Celje? Mixed bag: one win in five, leaky defense, and they're running on fumes after battling Bratislava twice. This is a classic David-meets-a-giant moment.
Key storylines:
- **Leverkusen's attacking depth** will be suffocating — E. Fernández and A. García controlling midfield against a stretched Celje backline 🎯
- **V. O. Boniface** leading the charge with A. Moreira and M. Tillman creating chaos across the flanks
- **Celje's discipline** tested early; they're already missing A. Kotnik to suspension and can't afford more bodies going down
Expected lineups:
- **Bayer 04 Leverkusen**: M. Flekken, E. Tapsoba, M. Gutiérrez, L. Badé, F. Medina, A. García, E. Fernández, I. Maza, M. Tillman, A. Moreira, V. O. Boniface
- **NK Celje**: Ž. L. Leban, L. Koutris, A. Tutyškinas, D. Hrka, P. Širvys, M. Zabukovnik, P. Daniel, Y. Dukuly, S. Sešlar, M. Avdyli, M. Kvesić
Prediction:
**Leverkusen 3-0 Celje**. Bayer should cruise past a depleted side playing at full throttle.
