Arsenal vs Bayer Leverkusen looks like a heavyweight European clash, but the home side clearly hold the stronger overall position going in. Arsenal arrive with better balance, a much more reliable defensive base and the kind of attacking control that usually makes them very hard to stop at home. Leverkusen are still dangerous enough to score and stay competitive for parts of the match, especially because they have enough quality in transition, but they do not look as stable over the full ninety minutes. The most likely script is Arsenal dictating the game, creating the clearer chances and finishing with a strong edge, while goals still remain live if the visitors are forced to chase.
