Bayer Leverkusen Preview – Can Leverkusen see out tie?
Bayer Leverkusen flexed their muscle at Ibrox with a 3-1 win against Scottish Premiership outfit, Rangers, to earn a valuable 1st leg lead as they make the long-awaited return to Europa League action, looking to progress through to the next round where they could be facing either Inter Milan or Getafe.
Leverkusen are another side that have dropped down from the Champions League to this second tier competition having predictably finished in 3rd place behind European heavyweights, Juventus and Atletico Madrid in Group D, but the German hosts look to be in the driving seat ahead of this 2nd leg clash.
Although Leverkusen suffered three defeats from their last five matches at home in the domestic competitions, the hosts have posted 10 wins from their last 13 matches at their BayArena while in the Europa League, Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last seven ties, winning four of these.
Rangers Preview – Can Rangers stage revival?
Scottish Premiership outfit, Rangers, face an almost impossible task of overhauling their German counterparts in this 2nd leg at the BayArena especially as they conceded three away goals to Leverkusen in the 1st leg at Ibrox.
Rangers finished in a creditable 2nd place as they finished runners-up in Group G to Portuguese side, Porto, in what was a pretty tough group which also included the likes of Young Boys and Feyenoord and having lost just one of their six group matches, the Scottish visitors will still harbour faint hopes of getting a result in Germany on Thursday.
The visitors will also be boosted by their recent 1-0 win away from home at Aberdeen in the weekend’s opening match of the season in the Scottish Premiership but in the step-up in quality in the Europa League, Rangers have managed to pick up just four wins from their last 20 ties on the road.
