Bayer Leverkusen - Ferencvarosi Budapest: Form Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen dropped from the Champions League to this tournament after finishing third in their group and battled Monaco in an intense playoff tie that was decided on penalties to remain active in Europe. Xabi Alonso’s men were forced into staging a comeback in the return leg in France after losing the first leg at home and they will want to avoid that here by securing an unassailable advantage going into the return leg next week. Their devastating form upfront in recent matches suggests that they can. Leverkusen have scored three or more goals in five of their last six matches and beat Hertha Berlin 4-1 over the weekend to extend their unbeaten run to three games. They haven’t been as dominant in defence though as they have been in attack and have kept just one clean sheet in 2023.
Ferencvaros possesses the most lethal attack in the Hungarian top division but this hasn’t resulted in automatic victories for them lately as they come to this match having won just one of their last four matches. They are however on an eight-match unbeaten run and will not just roll over against Leverkusen. They have kept two clean sheets during this unbeaten run and have scored at least one goal a match in six of their last eight matches. The chances of them getting at least one goal against a leaky Leverkusen defence are high.

Bayer Leverkusen & Ferencvarosi Budapest Squad Analysis
Leverkusen top scorer Moussa Diaby scored over the weekend his first goal after returning from injury and should be one of the danger men against Ferencvaros alongside Sardar Azmoun and Amine Adli who both scored against Hertha and have two goals each in their last three matches. The win over Hertha came with a downside as Jeremy Frimpong was substituted with injury and could be out for weeks.
Adama Traore and Ryan Mmaee have scored Ferencvaros’ last four goals and will be looked upon to provide the breakthrough in this match. Kristoffer Zachariassen has scored three goals in the Europa League this season and will be an asset from the bench. The Hungarian side will travel to Germany without the services of Muhamed Besic and Owusu Kwabena who are both injured.
