Head to the BayArena on Tuesday evening to watch the second leg of the play-off between Bayer Leverkusen and Olympiacos. Is it already a done deal for the German side? After a 2-0 victory last week in Greece, the red and blacks need to finish the job in front of their fans. Even though Thrylos is capable of pulling off a surprise on the European stage, their away results in the Champions League are not exceptional.
This is another argument in favor of the home team qualifying for the round of 16. However, it is important not to celebrate too soon, as football can throw up nasty surprises if you let your guard down. Grimaldo's teammates will need to stay focused for the full 90 minutes to secure a place in the final phase for the people of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Bayer Leverkusen - Olympiacos: Form Analysis
Surprised last weekend on Union Berlin's home turf, Bayer Leverkusen has just ended a seven-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. A 1-0 defeat in which they lacked efficiency in the capital. This was a rare occurrence, as Kasper Hjulmand's men had scored 17 goals in seven games. To avoid a difficult evening in the European Cup, they will need to find the back of the net, as they did in the first leg.
Bayern Leverkusen are on a 10-0 run in three home games.
Unlike their opponents today, Olympiacos boosted their confidence at the end of last week with a 2-0 league win over Panetolikos. The Thrylos have just broken a run of three games without a win and without scoring a single goal in 270 minutes. With their confidence restored, the red and whites will have to raise their game to make a difference on the European stage. If they don't, their journey will end in the play-offs.

Bayer Leverkusen & Olympiacos Squad Analysis
Let's talk about the recent results at home. 4-0 and 3-0 twice. And in those three results, Patrick Schick was decisive twice, as was Tillman. We can also add Terrier, Grimaldo, and Poku to that list. This diversity allows B04 to create danger in the opponent's box systematically. Knowing that the former scored twice in the first leg, the team will be ready to make the difference again, this time in Germany.
Patrick Schick has scored four goals in his last five games.
Olympiakos' last goalscorer is not eligible for the Champions League! We are talking about Yusuf Yazici, who is not eligible to play in the most prestigious competition. The problem is this: El Kaabi has not scored a single goal in five games, and Mehdi Taremi? A total of 270 minutes. If the Thrylos' star duo fails to find the net again in the European Cup, it will be impossible to close the gap with Bayer Leverkusen.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Olympiacos Prediction
Will Bayer Leverkusen manage to maintain their lead at home? For now, the 2024 champions have done half the job with a 2-0 win.

Last weekend's league victory may give the Greeks a boost, but given that the red and black team has been performing well at home, this task looks set to be a difficult one.
Our prediction for Bayer Leverkusen vs. Olympiacos: victory for Bayer Leverkusen!
