AI match recap

Leverkusen bring the stronger league-stage momentum, a formidable recent run and home control into a match with clear qualification importance. Marseille have yet to find traction in this phase and face a demanding defensive assignment at the BayArena. The visitors’ midfield availability is especially important: if their screen is weakened, Leverkusen’s counter-press and half-space rotations can dictate the game. Marseille still have a viable transition threat if they can bypass the first wave and turn the match into an open exchange.

Injuries and absences

The web availability reports, if confirmed, would leave Leverkusen without several attacking and squad-depth options but point to a sharper problem for Marseille: the potential absence of Højbjerg and Cornelius weakens midfield protection and central-defensive depth. These reports conflict with the supplied absence feed, so official line-ups should override them.
