📈 Bayer Leverkusen v Olympiacos Form & Tactics

Leverkusen faced some disappointment at the weekend after being defeated 1-0 against Union Berlin; there is an argument that they were distracted in light of their second leg against Olympiacos. The hosts have turned things around after a dreadful start to the season, Leverkusen sit 6th in the league and are four points off the Champions League places.

The hosts have been the 4th best team in the Bundesliga over the last fifteen games, taking 25 and amassing a positive goal difference of +10. Leverkusen have put themselves in an excellent position after winning the first leg against Olympiacos 2-0; they were good value for their victory.

Olympiacos picked up a vital win at the weekend after beating Panetolikos 2-0, further bolstering their title charge in the Greek domestic league. The visitors currently sit 2nd in the league, and 2 points behind AEK.

Before their win at the weekend, Olympiacos were going through a poor spell, losing two and drawing one of their previous three games, while scoring no goals in the process. The first leg against Leverkusen proved to be a frustrating experience; despite competing well in the early parts of the match, they had a tendency to concede good-quality chances and looked very vulnerable in behind.

📔 Bayer Leverkusen v Olympiacos Formation & Team News

Kasper Hjulmand has introduced a possession-based, proactive, and flexible 3-4-3 or 3-2-4-1 system since taking over Leverkusen in September 2025. His style emphasises quick vertical passing, high-intensity counter-pressing, and utilising attacking wing-backs who are asked to join the attacks and overwhelm the opposition in wide areas.

Hjulmand is a tactically flexible coach who is happy to set up more defensively against superior opposition, creating a five at the back, rather than a three at the back.

Bayer Leverkusen are currently without Loic Bade, Ben Seghir, Mark Flekken, and Nathan Tella, with all of them missing through injury. Malik Tillman may miss out after picking up a knock at the weekend.

Olympiacos generally adopt a 4-2-3-1 formation. There’s a tactical nuance about their approach which caters to the less strenuous demands of domestic football, while being more flexible to the rigorous demands in European football.

A more defensive approach is often utilised against European powerhouses, with an emphasis on defensive discipline and holding their shape out of possession, the main outlet being the counterattack. The team will often look to be more aggressive and high pressing against similarly matched or weaker opposition. However, taking into account the circumstances ahead of this one, we’re likely to see a more expansive approach from the visitors.

Olympiacos will be without Theofanis Bakoulas and Ruben Vezo ahead of their game in Germany on Tuesday evening.
