Where It Could Be Decided: Leverkusen's attack vs Marseille's European struggles

Leverkusen have scored at least twice in four of their last five games. Marseille, on the other hand, have not scored in either of their two recent Europa League matches. In addition, Leverkusen are missing several players, including Martin Terrier and Christian Kofane, which reduces their options in attack. Even so, home advantage and form favour them.

How the Game Should Unfold

Leverkusen will look to control possession at home and press Marseille high. Moreover, four of Leverkusen's last five games went over 2.5 goals. So our Leverkusen vs Marseille tips expects goals, mostly at one end. On top of that, Marseille's best hope is a fast start on the break.

Team News

According to FotMob, Leverkusen list Martin Terrier (hamstring), Eliesse Ben Seghir (muscle), Christian Kofane (thigh), Guela Doue (calf), Kennet Eichhorn (illness) and Montrell Culbreath (foot) as unavailable.
