Lyon – Bayer Leverkusen

Lyon head into the clash on home turf sitting fourth in the table with eight points from two wins and two draws, boasting a solid 6‑2 goal difference. Their opponents, Bayer Leverkusen, occupy eighth place with four points after a win, a draw and a loss, but they enjoy a superior scoring record of eight goals for and five against. The French side will look to extend their unbeaten run and tighten the gap at the top, while the Germans will aim to close the distance and improve their goal difference. Historically, both clubs have exchanged points in recent meetings, suggesting a tightly contested encounter that could see Lyon’s defensive stability tested by Leverkusen’s more prolific attack.
