Lech Poznan host Leverkusen looking to recover from opening loss

Form and position

Leverkusen have won four of their last five recent matches, the exception a 2-2 draw. Their most recent outing was a 4-3 win over M05. Poznan's recent form is more mixed: two wins, two draws and one defeat across their last five, though the defeat was the heavy opening loss in this competition. They have drawn 2-2 in two of those matches, most recently against COT.

A win on Thursday would take Leverkusen to six points from two matches, a draw to four. For Poznan, three points would repair some of the damage from matchday one, while another defeat would leave them on zero from two.

What the market expects

The pre-match probabilities give Leverkusen a 61.2 per cent chance of winning, with a Poznan victory at 19.0 per cent and a draw at 19.8 per cent. That suggests the visitors are expected to control the match, though the gap between a draw and a home win is narrow enough that Poznan are not written off entirely. Leverkusen's recent run supports the assessment, but Poznan have shown they can score, they put five past KLA and seven past THUN earlier in the campaign, even if the opening European fixture went the other way.
