⚙️ Team Form Guide
Bayer Leverkusen: Growing Confidence Under Hjulmand
New boss Kasper Hjulmand has brought calm and consistency. His side remains unbeaten since he took charge (W4 D3), and their last two Bundesliga wins show growing belief.
Key stats:
- 9-match home unbeaten streak in European group/league games (W7 D2).
- Only two losses in their last 18 European group matches (W11 D5).
- Five straight matches opening the scoring — they start fast.
- Eight of their last 12 home matches have ended under 2.5 goals, showing tactical discipline.
Paris Saint-Germain: European Giants on a Roll
After beating Barcelona on matchday two, PSG’s UCL form looks unstoppable: 12 wins in their last 14 matches and five straight victories in the competition.
However, two Ligue 1 draws since then hint at a minor dip.
Key stats:
- Won 6 of their last 7 UCL away games, including at Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barcelona.
- No goalless draw in 101 UCL matches — they always entertain.
- Yet, PSG have won just 2 of their last 10 UCL away games vs German teams.
⚡ Head-to-Head History
Their last meeting was in the 2013/14 Round of 16, where PSG won both legs.
However, Leverkusen have improved since losing just one of their last seven against French opposition (W4 D2).
With home advantage and momentum under Hjulmand, expect a tighter battle this time.
🌟 Key Players to Watch
Bayer Leverkusen:
- Christian Kofane – The teenage forward is the heart of Leverkusen’s attack, with five of his last seven goals coming at home. Expect him to test PSG’s back line early.
