This is going to be the first head to head match between Lech Poznan and Bayer Leverkusen.
Lech Poznan are the Polish Champions
Lech Poznan stood no chance in their Europa League opening match in mid-September, losing convincingly to Crystal Palace 4-0 at Selhurst Park. They had a couple of solid efforts, firing six shots on target.
The Polish champions responded immediately by defeating Radomiak Radom 5-1 in the Ekstraklasa, Patrik Walemark and Pablo Rodriguez scoring two goals each.
They returned to action after the international break last weekend by demolishing Slask Wroclaw 4-1 on the road and maintained second place after nine rounds (seven wins, one draw, one defeat).
Leverkusen Ramping up Victories Across Competitions
Bayer Leverkusen justified the favorites role in the EL first round, beating Celje 2-0 at home without any problems (2.40-0.89 xG and 17-5 shots).
They also made a lot of progress in the Bundesliga recently, accumulating ten points from the last four appearances and moving up to 4th place.
After beating Leipzig 2-0 in late September, Leverkusen returned to action last weekend with a dramatic 4-3 road victory against Mainz. The opposition had higher xG here 3.13-2.09 and more shots 23-16.

Four of Leverkusen's five Bundesliga games had 4+ goals this season. Lech Poznan also had a lot of high-scoring affairs on the European scene recently, so I am predicting an open contest with plenty of goals on Thursday.
