Bookmaker odds clearly favour Bayer Leverkusen, with the away win implying roughly a 75% chance. The directional lean for the home side and the draw is not weak, so the two signals diverge, and I have raised the upset weighting accordingly. Bayer Leverkusen have a far superior squad and value, kept two clean sheets in the Europa League opening rounds, and are in solid league form with an efficient away attack. OFI score frequently in the first half at home and have remained unbeaten after taking the lead, so they can drag the match into a tempo they prefer. The status of Bayer Leverkusen's listed injuries is not clear in the data, so the final lineups need confirmation.
OFI score often in the first half at home, so an early lead could disrupt Bayer Leverkusen's rhythm.

With a squad value over ten times that of OFI, Bayer Leverkusen enters on a five-match winning streak and boasts two clean-sheet victories in the UEFA Europa League, led by an in-form Patrik Schick. Despite OFI's perfect home record when leading, their three-game losing skid and leaky defense make the visitors clear favorites.
Bayer Leverkusen faces notable injury absences in attack and midfield, including Victor Boniface, Jonas Hofmann, and Martin Terrier, which could limit their rotation depth.
OFI thrives as a front-runner at home, winning 100% of their last ten home games when scoring first, and their fast first-half starts could test the visitors early.

Bayer Leverkusen’s squad is worth about ten times OFI’s; they have won both Europa League games without conceding and have taken all of their last five matches. OFI have not dropped points at home after leading, and first-half goals have come often, so they can complicate the night. Even without Victor Boniface and others, the visitors still have enough quality for a narrow away win.
Bayer Leverkusen’s attack is thinned by the absences of Victor Boniface, Jonas Hofmann and Martin Terrier, so the away display may be less smooth than the squad gap suggests
OFI have kept a clean sheet in Europa League home games and have won every home match they led, so an early goal would immediately tighten the contest

Bayer Leverkusen are worth ten times OFI's squad, have scored six without reply in two Europa League games and won their last five, with the 1.22 away price reflecting that gulf. OFI beat Hoffenheim 2-0 at home and are strong once ahead, and with eight Leverkusen players listed unavailable, rotation could open a real window for points. 1-2 is the pick; the draw must be respected.
Eight Bayer Leverkusen players are listed unavailable, and heavy rotation could blunt their creativity and away defensive stability
OFI have won every recent home game in which they led, including a 2-0 clean sheet over Hoffenheim in Europe, so an early goal could turn this into a grind
