Bayer Leverkusen enter this match with a confident attitude, having displayed an impressive attacking line in their recent Bundesliga matches. Under the guidance of manager Xabi Alonso, the team developed a fluid and attacking style, often relying on quick passes and high pressure to control possession and create chances to score Key players that Florian Wirtz and Jeremy Frimpong have been great at driving the team's attacking play , but, often after finding the net, Leverkusen's consistent defense has been a mixed bag, and occasionally made the difference for opponents the to be used.
