Leverkusen have already qualified for the next round and need a win to top the group. Slavia are also through to the next round and will top the group if they avoid a defeat in this match.
Leverkusen defeated Schalke 3-0 in Bundesliga over the weekend extending their unbeaten competitive run to eight matches winning seven and drawing one. In each of those wins, Leverkusen have scored at least three goals in six of those matches. The Germans have been in excellent scoring form in Europa League as well, scoring at least three goals in four of their five matches winning each of those. However, they did lose 1-0 to Slavia in the reverse fixture and need a win here to top the standings.
Slavia defeated Sparta Prague 3-0 in the domestic league match over the weekend and are themselves unbeaten in eight competitive matches winning seven. Five of those wins have come with a clean sheet, which was also the case in the reverse match. Slavia started their season with a 3-1 loss at Hapoel Sheva but quickly regrouped with four straight wins. The last three wins in that sequence saw them score three goals each, raising hopes of a high scorer here.
Key Statistics

The bet of our experts
Bayer Leverkusen and Slavia Prague have been the standout teams of this group having already confirmed their progression to the next round. However, the top spot is still up for grabs and that makes for interesting reading. Slavia can top the standings with just a draw, but it is Leverkusen who have the advantage considering their home form. We expect both teams to bring their high-scoring form into this match and result in goals at both ends.
