Olympiacos vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

• Leverkusen have won five of their last six matches

• Leverkusen dominated last month’s meeting with 2.58 xG
• The visitors have scored three or more goals in four of their last five matches

Tables to turn on hosts

Olympiacos squeezed into this round of the Champions League thanks to two wins in January, including a 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen. The Greek side caught Bayer cold not long after the Bundesliga’s winter break, but the visitors are in better shape ahead of this trip.

Leverkusen’s 2-0 loss in Greece saw them win the Expected Goals battle 2.58 to 1.13, and they restricted Olympiacos to just 28% possession and only six shots in total.

Since that setback, Leverkusen have made real strides forward. They’ve won five of their last six games, and they’ve scored three or more goals in four of their previous five.

Leverkusen deserved more from their last trip, and they are now finishing their chances. This looks like a perfect opportunity for the Bundesliga side to claim a first-leg advantage.
