In the opening leg last Thursday, Monaco stormed back with two goals in the final 16 minutes plus stoppage time to win 3-2, so a victory or draw in this game will be enough to put them through to the next stage of this competition.

Les Monegasques have the upper hand heading to the Principality, and they will fancy their chances of progressing, as they are unbeaten in their last 13 UEFA Cup/Europa League matches played on home soil.

Their last defeat at home in the knockout stage of this competition came against a German opponent when they losy 1-0 to Borussia Monchengladbach during the 1996-97 UEFA Cup, although they still progressed from that tie, 4-3 on aggregate.

Philippe Clement’s side have never been eliminated from a two-legged knockout tie in a major European competition (excluding qualifiers) after winning the opening game away from home, progressing in each of their previous 10 attempts.

Leverkusen missed a golden opportunity to take the opening leg of this tie, reacting well in the second half with two goals in the opening 15 minutes, but they eventually left too many gaaps at the back through the latter stages.

History suggests that their odds of reversing this one-goal deficit are long, as Leverkusen have been eliminated from all 11 two-legged knockout ties (excluding qualifiers) when losing the opening fixture at home.

Leverkusen’s track record away from home against Ligue 1 opponents in this competition is not great, winning just once, although that solitary victory came in the recent past – beating Nice 3-2 in the 2020-21 group stage at Allianz Riviera.
