For the first match of the quarter-final phase of the Europa League, Bayer Leverkusen welcomes Union Saint-Jilois to the BayArena. The away goals rule does not apply, there will be a replay next week in Belgium.
Leverkusen was the big favorite in the previous round against Ferencvaros and confirmed it in practice. In the first match in Hungary, they prevailed 2-0 and basically everything was over, while in the rematch they prevailed with the same score.
Her competitive rise in the last months have in fact brought great optimism for the continuation of the event, making secret dreams of winning the title.
At the same time, it has also improved in the championship, after the very ugly first round, prevailed at home against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 on Saturday, achieving its 5th consecutive victory.
So at the end of the 27th race he found her in 6th place with 43 points and minus 5 more than the 4th and last place that gives participation in the groups of the next Champions League.
Union was impressive in the previous round against Union Berlin, it was they who got the qualification and made history by reaching the quarter-finals of a European competition for the first time in 63 years! In the first match in Germany, they drew 3-3, while in the second leg they won easily with 3-0.
But it also impresses in the Belgian championship as it claims the title, after 32 matches is in 2nd place with 69 points and minus 2 from the first Genk. On Saturday, they drew 1-1 at the home of Ghent in a match that they took the lead in the first seconds but conceded the equalizer in the 80th minute.
Very interesting match between two very good teams. On the one hand, Leverkusen is in excellent form and on the other, Union, which is the pleasant surprise of the tournament. I think we will see a spectacular match with many phases and goals.
