Lech Poznan host Bayer Leverkusen in Europa League

The gap in the table
Lech Poznan lost their opening Europa League fixture 0-4, leaving them with a goal difference of minus four and no points. Bayer Leverkusen won their first match 2-0 and arrive in Poznan having won four of their last five recent matches, with the other drawn. A win here would take Leverkusen to six points from two games, while defeat would leave Poznan on zero points from two.
The contrast in recent form is sharp. Poznan have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five recent matches, a run that includes the heavy opening defeat in this competition. Leverkusen have not lost in their last five, winning four and drawing one, and their only dropped points in that sequence came in a 2-2 draw.
What the market expects
The market-implied probability gives Bayer Leverkusen a 58.0 per cent chance of winning, with Lech Poznan at 20.8 per cent and the draw at 21.2 per cent. That assessment aligns with the table positions and the recent results: Leverkusen have been the more consistent side, and Poznan are yet to register a point. The market sees this as a clear away advantage, and the form offers no reason to argue with it.
