Bayer Leverkusen Preview – Can Leverkusen bounce back?
Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten start to their new season was brought to an end by Borussia Dortmund on the weekend in the Bundesliga but the hosts have a chance to redeem themselves on Thursday night when they play host to Ferencvaros at their BayArena in the Europa League.
Prior to Saturday’s loss, Bayer Leverkusen had recorded back-to-back wins against M’gladbach 4-0 at home and a 4-1 win on the road at Augsburg so the hosts will still feel confident about their chances in this Group G opener.
Results at home in this competition have been favourable for Bayer Leverkusen as the hosts have lost just one out of their last 12 ties on home turf and will fancy their chances against their Hungarian visitors here.
Ferencvaros Preview – Can Ferencvaros pull off upset?
Ferencvaros were making progress in the early qualifying rounds of this season’s Champions League before they were dumped out of the competition by Swiss outfit, Young Boys, but the Hungarian visitors will be hoping they can continue their journey in the Europa League now.
Victories over Prishtina, Valgiris and Slavia Prague had seen Ferencvaros make inroads into a possible group stage appearance in the Champions League but a 6-4 loss on aggregate against Young Boys put paid to their involvement.
However, results in the Europa League have been fairly disappointing as Ferencvaros have managed to win just two of their last 12 ties overall and this looks a tough opening fixture for the visitors in Germany.
