Since Bayer Leverkusen has been one of the top clubs in the 1st Bundesliga for a long time, the club from the Rhineland is a permanent European guest. Last season the "Werkself” finished third in the Champions League and qualified for the second round of the Europa League. There she won both games against Porto and the two games of the round of 16 against the Glasgow Rangers. In the quarter-finals, Bayer Leverkusen finally failed to Inter Milan. This season, coach Peter Bosz's team has been in the Europa League from the start. In Group C with OGC Nice, Slavia Prague and Hapoel Be’er Sheva, she is the favorite to move into the next round.

Will Leverkusen start the competition with a draw?
The start of the 2020/2021 season was rather mixed for Bayer Leverkusen. After the clear 7-0 win in the DFB Cup against Eintracht Norderstedt, the club from North Rhine-Westphalia drew 3 in a row in the 1st Bundesliga before a 1-0 away win at FSV Mainz 05 last weekend. In their own stadium, however, there has only been one draw this season, a 1-1 draw against RB Leipzig. Although Bayer Leverkusen's offensive is of high quality, coach Peter Bosz's team has only scored 3 goals this Bundesliga season. As a result, the first 4 games of the season were poor in goals, each with under 2.5 goals.

Nice have a good chance of surviving the group stage
Reaching the Europa League group stage is a rare achievement for OGC Nice. The club from the French Riviera played only twice internationally since the 1997/1998 season. In the 2016/2017 season, the "Adler" failed in the group stage of the Europa League and one year later in the second round of the competition after they failed to qualify for the Champions League. With 5th place last season, Nice was able to qualify for a European competition again after 2 years. Coach Patrick Viera's team would like to survive the group stage of the competition. The chances of this aren't that bad. Because next to Bayer Leverkusen, OGC Nice is the favorite in Group C.

Will Nice remain unbeaten in their 4th game in a row?
After the 2019/2020 season in France was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was difficult to assess the shape of the French teams. After 7 match days of the new season, OGC Nice is just as strong as last season. The team of coach Patrick Viera scored 13 points from 7 games and is thus on 4th place in the Ligue 1. Currently the "Adler" have a little run and are unbeaten in 3 games. The last 2 league games could also be made victorious. Away from home, the French Riviera club has a record of 2 wins, one draw and one defeat.

Free soccer tips
Bayer Leverkusen:
Bayer Leverkusen was on his way to a top four finish in the Bundesliga last season until shortly before the end of the season, but loss of points in the closing weeks of the league meant that Peter Bosz and his players had to settle for fifth place. This season, there will be no Champions League football in the BayArena. Leverkusen will have to play in the second European club tournament. Besides Nice Slavia Praag and Hapoel Beer Sheva are the opponents of Die Werkself.

Last year, Leverkusen also played in the Europa League, with the difference that Bayer came in after the winter break after third place in the group stage of the CL. Bosz and his team managed to get through two knock-out rounds, but after the single quarter-final match – against Internazionale in Düsseldorf – the adventure was over for Leverkusen. This football year, the German team has not been very convincing so far. Only last Saturday was a league game turned into a win for the first time this season. At FSV Mainz 05, Leverkusen won 0-1.

Nice:
After an absence of three years, OGC Nice is back in Europe. Nice was active in the Europa League in the 2017/2018 season. The French came through a group stage including Vitesse, but in the sixteenth final the ship was stranded – Lokomotiv Moscow was twice too strong for the southern French. After their fifth place in the previous, cut off, season of the Ligue 1, Les Aiglons can prepare for a new European campaign.
