Lech Poznan VS Bayer Leverkusen

Lech Poznan have snapped their stretch of fluctuating form with a recent victory, which has given the whole squad a notable morale boost. Across their past 10 matches, they have notched 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and their home record stands out impressively: 3 wins, 3 draws and only 2 defeats from 8 recent home outings, with both their attack and defense performing at a high level. Bayer Leverkusen, by comparison, have 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their last 10 fixtures. The two sides are fairly close in overall strength, but Poznan are currently hampered by stretched squad depth despite their solid recent displays, and they have only picked up 1 win across their last 4 games as a consistent mid-tier side. The visitors have also maintained a strong run of late, so it will be intriguing to see which side can grab the early initiative in this tie.
