Leverkusen, the top Bundesliga team, maintained their unbeaten record in all competitions by drawing 2-2 in Azerbaijan and beating Wolfsburg 2-0 in the league, showcasing their excellent campaign.

Qarabag leads domestically by 45 points, but the Azerbaijani Premier League is weaker than Germany’s top flight. Despite defeats to Leverkusen, they will take inspiration from last week’s draw.

Leverkusen will miss Victor Boniface due to adductor injury, Arthur with muscle injury, and Alonso with no other absentees for Qarabag’s visit.

Qarabag’s head coach, Gurban Gurbanov, is confident about the team’s performance, with Juninho as the top scorer and Marko Janković as the key player due to his impressive European goals.

Predicted lineups:

Bayer Leverkusen

Goalkeeper: Lukas Hradecky
