Team News

Qarabag FK
Leverkusen
  • The hosts will be without three players for this first leg clash.
  • Xabi Alonso remains without injured duo Victor Boniface and Arthur.

Prediction

  • After an impressive 4-2 first-leg victory away from home, Qarabag were taken to extra-time by Braga in their knockout round play-off tie two weeks ago.
  • The Azerbaijani side sealed their place in the last 16 with a dramatic 121st-minute winner from Nariman Akhundzade, and have since won each of their domestic matches.
  • Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, remain the story of the season, not just in Germany but perhaps across Europe's top five leagues.
  • Xabi Alonso's side remain unbeaten so far this campaign, and now sit a remarkable ten points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.
  • Expect the in-form visitors to take an advantage into the second leg with a victory here.
