Lech Poznan vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

• Bayer Leverkusen have won four of their last five matches in all competitions
• Lech Poznan were beaten 4-0 by Crystal Palace in their opening Europa League game
• Leverkusen have scored at least twice in their last eight matches.

Leverkusen can prove too strong

Bayer Leverkusen look capable of taking all three points when they travel to Poland to face Lech Poznan in the Europa League on Thursday.

Leverkusen have made an encouraging start to the season and arrive following an entertaining 4-3 Bundesliga victory away to Mainz. They also began their Europa League campaign with a comfortable 2-0 win over Celje and have now scored at least twice in five of their last six matches.

Lech should provide some resistance having hit form domestically. They beat Radomiak Radom 5-1 before recording a 4-1 victory away to Slask Wroclaw last time out, so confidence should be high among the hosts.

However, there remains a sizeable question over how that domestic form translates to this level. Lech suffered a comprehensive 4-0 defeat away to Crystal Palace in their opening Europa League fixture, and another step up in class awaits against the German side.

Leverkusen possess considerably greater quality and should create enough chances to make that tell. A Bayer Leverkusen win makes most appeal, with a 2-1 away victory the correct-score prediction.
