Bayer Leverkusen will aim to control the game by carrying their strong home form into this fixture. Celje's long layoff creates a tactical rust risk, while Leverkusen's mild fatigue could make the match tempo fluctuate at times. The host's superior attacking quality and home advantage should allow them to maintain a scoring lead throughout the match. A match with goals from both sides, ultimately ending in a win for the German side, is expected.
