Bayer Leverkusen vs Olympiacos Predictions
Leverkusen’s first-leg control sets up another home result
he 2-0 victory in Piraeus last week gives Bayer Leverkusen a clear platform in this play-off tie. Kasper Hjulmand’s side were patient and clinical in Greece, managing the tempo before striking twice to take firm control of the aggregate score.
That first-leg win came with Patrik Schick leading the line from the start, and it contrasted with the group stage meeting between these clubs, which Olympiacos won 2-0 when Schick appeared only for the final 20 minutes. The difference in structure was visible in the scoreline.
Leverkusen’s recent home numbers add weight. They have won five of their last six matches at BayArena and continue to score freely in front of their own crowd. Even though a 1-0 defeat to Union Berlin at the weekend interrupted momentum, Schick was limited to 30 minutes off the bench in that domestic fixture.
Olympiacos, meanwhile, have lost two of their last four games and failed to score in three of those matches. In a knockout format where they must overturn a two-goal deficit, that lack of cutting edge stands out. Although they have won their last two Champions League away tests against Ajax and Kairat, neither opponent finished in the top 30 of the league stage, unlike Leverkusen.
Leverkusen have also won four of their last six European games, including victories over fellow knockout-phase sides Manchester City and Benfica. A 2-0 aggregate lead combined with five wins from the last six at BayArena aligns with another home success at odds of 1.80.
Tip: Bayer Leverkusen to Win ( at N/A)
Schick’s recent scoring run remains central
Patrik Schick has scored four goals in his last five games, all coming across four starts. His brace in the first leg in Greece underlined his current rhythm in front of goal and highlighted how influential he can be when selected from the outset.
In that 2-0 win in Piraeus, his aerial strength and movement created consistent problems for the Olympiacos defence. That impact was notably different from the earlier group stage clash, when he was introduced late and Leverkusen fell to a 2-0 defeat.
He was used for only 30 minutes in the 1-0 loss to Union Berlin at the weekend, a managed workload that keeps him fresh for this decisive European night. With Leverkusen scoring regularly at home and Schick leading the line in recent starts, his individual goal frequency remains steady across this stretch.
Four goals in five matches, including two in this specific tie, supports the anytime scorer line at 2.10.
