Leverkusen aim to secure progress in the Europa League
Bayer Leverkusen want to continue their impressive run of success in the Europa League. The Bundesliga leaders, who are still unbeaten in competitive matches this season, can secure a place in the next round with a win at FK Karabakh Agdam in Azerbaijan on matchday four. Bayer won the first leg in Leverkusen with a commanding 5:1. Coach Xabi Alonso will be without regular central defender Edmond Tapsoba for the upcoming match in Baku this Thursday (18:45/RTL+). The 24-year-old is out due to a hand operation.
