Lech Poznan’s unbeaten home record and four‑goal per game average give them a strong chance to avoid defeat. Bayer Leverkusen have shown attacking intent but will be playing away from home, where they have yet to be tested in this competition. Combining Lech’s home potency with Leverkusen’s recent form points to a scenario where the hosts at minimum secure a draw, making the HOME_OR_DRAW double chance the most defensible option.

Match preview
Lech Poznan have turned their home ground into a fortress, winning both matches at home with an impressive eight goals scored and none conceded. Their recent five‑game run shows a dominant 5‑0 home victory and a solid 2‑2 draw, though several key players – including A. Douglas, A. Gholizadeh and R. Murawski – are listed as unavailable for this tie.
Bayer Leverkusen arrive on a five‑match winning streak in all competitions, highlighted by a 4‑3 away win at Mainz and clean‑sheet victories at home against RB Leipzig and Union Berlin. Despite a long injury list, the side has maintained a perfect record in the Europa League so far, scoring two goals in their sole group appearance without conceding.
The encounter is a cup tie in the league stage, meaning both teams are eager to secure progression. Lech’s prolific home scoring (average four goals per game) meets Leverkusen’s solid defensive display, setting the stage for at least a point for the hosts and a likely goal‑rich contest.
