Bayer Leverkusen vs Celtic Match Preview and Team News
Bayer Leverkusen
Celtic are on to a tough mission as they head to Germany to take on Bayer Leverkusen in the fifth round of matches in the Europa League at the group stages. The two sides are in Group G with Leverkusen on 10 points while Celtic have so far managed six points. Leverkusen has endured a tough run in recent matches, but they head to this game on a better run, unbeaten in three, with two wins. In this group, they have done well; they are lethal in attack and strong in defense, while generally, they have been doing well in the Europa League. In 10 Europa League matches, Leverkusen has seven wins and only two losses. Paulinho enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and goes towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He is strong, and it is challenging to keep this guy. Moussa Diaby is the best player on the team, he is excellent in the penalty area, and the fans adore him.
Celtic
Celtic hold a nine-match unbeaten streak as they go to this game. This run, they hope, gives them the needed impetus for such a big task. The opponents they’ve faced in those nine matches, however, do not match Leverkusen in strength. The last time they tasted defeat, it was inflicted by Leverkusen, a 4-0 thrashing at home, and that paints the picture of the amount of work on Celtic’s hands. Their only wins in the Europa League this season have been against the weakest team in this group – Ferencvaros. They have just one clean sheet in the last five Europa League matches, and in four of them, Celtic have conceded two or more goals. David Turnbull plays excellently and does not allow the opponent to play in the middle of the field. Kyogo Furuhashi is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, and he has excellent ball control and can be satisfied with his performance.
