Bayer Leverkusen will be determined to make a flying start to their Europa League campaign when they take on Celje at BayArena. Die Werkself are expected to stick to their attacking philosophy after a 2-2 Bundesliga draw with Augsburg, with Patrick Schick pushing for a starting berth after scoring as a substitute. Martin Terrier has also overcome his injury and is available. Leverkusen have won all four of their last four home games, scoring 3.25 goals per match and keeping three clean sheets.
Celje head into the trip in poor form, having lost four of their last five matches in all competitions. The Slovenians were eliminated by Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League playoffs before suffering a 2-1 league defeat to Bravo, with experienced midfielder Mario Kvesic picking up a knock. Celje have been more productive away from home, averaging 1.83 goals, while their 1.61 xG suggests they can create opportunities. However, containing Leverkusen will be a completely different challenge.
As Bayer's home record is outstanding, anything but a routine Home Win would be a big surprise, alongside
Bayer -1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Leverkusen average 3.50 goals at home).
This Europa League match will be played on Wednesday 16 September 2026 at 20:00.
