Bayer Leverkusen faces OFI Crete in Europa League matchup

Bayer Leverkusen is set to face OFI Crete in a Europa League match scheduled for October 22, 2026, at the Pankritio Stadium in Heraklion. Leverkusen enters the fixture as a strong favorite, maintaining a perfect record in the league phase with two wins and a 6:0 goal difference, having defeated NK Celje and Lech Posen without conceding a goal.

OFI Crete holds three points following a notable opening victory against TSG Hoffenheim and a subsequent 1:2 loss to Stade Rennes. While the Greek side has demonstrated offensive potential, they have also shown defensive vulnerabilities in recent domestic and European play. The match will see Leverkusen attempting to maintain their clean sheet and dominant form against a home side looking for a significant result.
