BayArena will come to life on Tuesday night, when Bayer Leverkusen and Olympiacos face off in the second leg of their Champions League Knockout Playoff encounter. The winner of this two-legged tie between Die Werkself and Thrylos will meet either Bayern Munich or Arsenal in the Round of 16. Check out our match prediction below!
Kasper Hjulmand's side already have one foot in the last 16 of this season’s UCL campaign, having come away from Piraeus with a 2-0 victory last week. If this week’s hosts are to progress to the next round, they could face fellow Bundesliga outfit Bayern in the RO16 - the same team that knocked them out of Europe's elite club competition at the same stage last term.
Olympiacos recorded one of the upsets of Matchday 7 in this competition by beating this opponent 2-0 at home, but they have struggled against German opposition on the road, winning only one of their last 11 such games. Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side have it all to do here - can they pull off a massive against-the-odds comeback? Let’s get into the key stats!

Bayer Leverkusen won their final League Phase match 3-0 against Villarreal to end the group stage of this season’s Champions League in 16th place with 12 points in eight games (W3 D3 L2).
With one eye on this fixture, Hjulmund made five changes against Union Berlin at the weekend and lost the game 1-0, which ended the team’s seven-match unbeaten run across all competitions (W6 D1).
The hosts took only five points from their four home games in the League Phase (W1 D2 L1), but they have won their last four across all competitions at BayArena coming into this crucial fixture.
Bayer Leverkusen have kept clean sheets in each of their last four home matches!
Meanwhile, after only earning two points from their first four League Phase games, Olympiacos ended the group stage with three consecutive victories to secure 18th place in the table with 11 points.
The home loss to this opponent in the first leg marked the third match in succession that Thrylos failed to score a goal, but they bounced back from that with a solid 2-0 victory over Panetolikos at the weekend.

Bayer Leverkusen & Olympiacos Squad Analysis
Patrick Schick scored both goals in Piraeus last week and only played 30 minutes off the bench against Union Berlin at the weekend, which should see him enter this match well rested and ready to go.
Alejandro Grimaldo set up Schick for the second goal in the first leg and has now racked up six goal contributions in nine appearances in this competition to go with five goals and five assists in the Bundesliga this term.
The hosts are expected to be without at least four players through injury for this match, including Nathan Tella, Loic Bade, Eliesse Ben Seghir, and first-choice goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
Gelson Martins has scored in his last two UCL away games for Olympiacos!
The Portuguese winger is the team’s top scorer in this competition with three goals, and he was rested for the victory against Panetolikos over the weekend, along with fellow attacker Daniel Podence.
Mendilibar opted to start Mehdi Taremi as the number nine in the league fixture on Saturday, but he is likely to drop back into attacking midfield, with Ayoub El Kaabi expected to return to the starting lineup for this match
Defensive midfielder Theofanis Bakoulas (cruciate ligament tear) is the only confirmed absentee for the visitors this week.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Olympiacos Prediction
While Bayer Leverkusen were stunned by this opponent back on MD7 in the League Phase, they were by far the better team in this tie last week in Piraeus, and deservedly came away with a solid two-goal advantage.
Olympiacos have already shown that they are well capable of producing big performances in this competition, but Die Werkself have won each of their last four home games without conceding, and we feel they come out on top in this match as well. Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Olympiacos prediction is Bayer Leverkusen wins.
