Lech Poznan vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction

Lech Poznan began their UEFA Europa League league phase campaign with a 4-0 hammering at the hands of last year’s UEFA Europa Conference League winners Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park last month. Lech returned form the international break with a 4-1 defeat of Slask Wroclaw in the Ekstraklasa at the weekend.

Following the appointment of former Toulouse boss Carlos Martinez Novell, 2024 UEFA Europa League runners-up Bayer Leverkusen have been inconsistent at the start of this season. They did, though, begin the league phase of this competition with a 2-0 defeat of Slovenian champions Celje a few weeks ago.

Leverkusen weren’t overly convincing against Celje and Lech may well bloody their nose this week but the Germans remain favourites for this one in Poland.
