Bayer Leverkusen vs Qarabag prediction 14.03.2024

• Competition: Europa League
• Date: 14th March 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: BayArena

When Bayer Leverkusen and Qarabag face off on Thursday night in Germany, a spot in the quarter-finals of the 2023-24 Europa League campaign will be up for grabs.

Leverkusen have clearly been the standout team in the Bundesliga this season, and have carried this impressive performance into their European matches. Last week, Xabi Alonso’s team maintained their unbeaten streak in all competitions by coming back from a two-goal disadvantage to secure a 2-2 draw in the first leg of this tie in Azerbaijan. Following that, Die Werkelf continued their successful season by securing a 2-0 victory over Wolfsburg in the league. They are hoping to replicate this success in the upcoming week.

Meanwhile, Qarabag are leading by 45 points in their domestic standings. However, the Azerbaijani Premier League is not as competitive as the German top tier. They had losses to Leverkusen in both home and away games in this season’s Europa League group stage, but they can certainly draw confidence from last week’s draw.
