Bayer Leverkusen hosts Celtic in round 5 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 25th at BayArena (Leverkusen)
Bayer Leverkusen is the leader of its group. After four rounds, the team has ten points. All the results look like this: three victories, one draw, and zero losses with a goal difference of 11-2. Three out of four games of Gerardo Seoane's players ended with over 2.5 goals scored. I cannot ignore the fact that the Red-Blacks scored at least twice in five out of the last six matches in the UEL. And Bayer usually shows very solid results at the home stadium. In the last eight home matches in the Europa League, the Red-Blacks managed to win seven victories. On November 20, they beat Bochum in the home match of the German Bundesliga (1-0). That victory allowed them to return to the TOP-4. Most likely, Bayer Leverkusen should now be in high spirits.

Celtic scored six points in two previous matches against Ferencvaros. Now the Celts are in 3rd place in the group standings with six points scored. The Scottish team will definitely not go down below. Under certain circumstances, it will manage to climb to one of the first two places. We cannot but draw your attention to how many goals the Celts have already conceded in the group stage of the Europa League — ten (with eight goals scored). Three out of four matches ended with Over 3.5 goals scored. In the previous two away games, Ange Postecoglou's men scored three goals. In general, Celtic's away results in the Europa League are very mediocre. In the previous seven games, the Green-Whites managed to win only two times (one draw and four losses).
The previous head-to-head match in Glasgow ended in a humiliating defeat for the home team (0- 4). Celtic's last seven Europa games ended with an exchange of goals scored. In four of their last six home games, the Scots have scored at least two goals in the second half. Bayer is a solid German team, which, as the last match of the championship showed, is gradually gaining momentum. But right now, the Red-Blacks are not in optimal condition. Will Celtic take advantage of this? I strongly doubt it. The Scots themselves are a very problematic team. Especially, it concerns their actions in defense (ten goals conceded in four UEL matches). But both teams do not hesitate to attack, and I think they will please us with a goal show.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored
