AI match recap

Leverkusen travel to Crete in much stronger form and with an early advantage in the league phase, but OFI’s home backing and direct attacking outlets give them a route into the match. Kontis has publicly committed to his existing approach, which makes defensive concentration rather than tactical caution the decisive issue for the hosts. OFI’s injury situation around the back line and goalkeeper increases the pressure on their organisation. Leverkusen’s depth is reduced by several absences, yet Hofmann’s squad addition gives them another experienced creative option.

Injuries and absences

OFI’s unavailable defenders and the uncertainty around Christogeorgos threaten the cohesion Kontis says his side have lost in recent matches. Leverkusen are without several attacking options, but Hofmann’s addition to the Europa League squad restores an experienced creative alternative following Terrier’s injury.
