Bayer Leverkusen vs Qarabag Prediction and Betting Tips | October 26th 2023

Two in-form sides square off in the Europa League as Bayer Leverkusen play host to Qarabag at the BayArena on Thursday.

Both sides have won their opening two European matches and we anticipate an enthralling top-of-the-table clash in Group H.

Bayer Leverkusen continued their blistering run of results as they picked up a 2-1 victory over Werder Bremen in the German Bundesliga on Saturday.

Xabi Alonso’s men have now won six games on the bounce, including successive victories over Hacken and Molde in the Europa League.

With six points from their opening two European outings, Bayer Leverkusen currently sit at the top of Group H, only above Thursday’s visitors on goal difference.

Qarabag were left spitting feathers last Friday when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Turan Tovuz in the Azerbaijan top flight after bottling their lead in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Prior to that, Gurban Gurbanov’s men were on a six-match winning streak across all competitions, scoring 13 goals and keeping five clean sheets in that time.

With last Friday’s result, Qarabag have now gone unbeaten in six of their last seven away matches, securing five wins and one draw since the start of August.
