Qarabag Team News

In the previous round of the Azerbaijan Premier League, Qarabag defeated last-placed Kapaz at home 7:1. Already in the first half, they had a lead of as much as 5:1, and in the second part of the match they only confirmed the victory. Yassine Benzia scored a hat-trick in this match, Leandro Andrade scored twice, while Juninho and Nariman Akhundzade each scored a goal.

In the league, they currently occupy the second position in the table with 23 points won, one less than the first-placed Zira, while in the Europa League, they are also in second place with six points won, three more than Molde. In the last four competitive matches, they recorded a draw and a triumph, as well as two defeats.

After scoring a hat-trick for Qarabag in the league last weekend, Yassine Benzia should start in a creative position in attack.

Defender Matheus Silva will probably miss the game, so Toral Bayramov should get a chance at right back.

Bayer Leverkusen Team News

Since the beginning of the season, the German team has only one draw and all other victories in all competitions. The last triumph in the series was over Hoffenheim away from home with 2:3. In the first half, they doubled their lead through Florian Wirtz and Alejandro Grimaldo, and at the beginning of the second half of the match, with two quick goals, the home team equalized. However, in the 70th minute, Grimaldo brought victory to his team with another goal.

They currently occupy the first position in the table in both the European and the Bundesliga. A victory over Qarabag would mean passage to the next stage of the competition.

Coach Xabi Alonso is expected to opt for changes to his Bayer Leverkusen squad and field a team similar to the one that started the previous match two weeks ago. This means that players like Matej Kovar, Piero Hincapie, Roberto Andrich, Amina Adli, and Nathan Tella will get a chance in the starting line-up.

Adam Hlozek could also start in place of Victor Boniface, while Odilon Kossounou is likely to miss the game after picking up an injury against Hoffenheim.
