Match backgroundBayer Leverkusen and Slavia Praha both sealed qualification for the knockout phase on Matchday 5 and now meet inGermany to determine which of the two clubs will win Group C.
• The German side won 3-2 at Nice last time out, goals from Moussa Diaby, Aleksandar Dragović and JulianBaumgartlinger making it three group wins in a row, while the Czech champions made it four victories on the trot bywinning 3-0 at home to Hapoel Beer-Sheva, first-half goals by Abdallah Sima and Nicolae Stanciu preceding an owngoal. Leverkusen will top the group with a victory, Slavia with a win or a draw.
Previous meetings• On Matchday 2, in the clubs' first UEFA encounter, Slavia beat Leverkusen 1-0 in Prague, an 80th-minute winnerfrom Peter Olayinka ending the resistance of their ten-man visitors following Karim Bellarabi's first-half red card andStanciu's missed penalty.
• Leverkusen are unbeaten in their four games at home to Czech opponents (W3 D1) and have kept clean sheets inthe three wins, the most recent of which took place in the 2007/08 UEFA Cup group stage, when they beat Slavia'scity rivals Sparta Praha.
• Slavia's overall record against German clubs is W4 D3 L8, five successive defeats preceding their Matchday 2victory. They remain on a run of five straight losses in Germany, most recently going down 2-1 at Borussia Dortmundin last season's UEFA Champions League group stage.
Form guideLeverkusen• Fifth place in the 2019/20 Bundesliga earned Leverkusen a return to the UEFA Europa League, where they reachedthe quarter-finals last season after finishing third in their UEFA Champions League group. They won both legs againstPorto in the round of 32 (2-1 h, 3-1 a) and Rangers in the round of 16 (3-1 a, 1-0 h) before losing their last-eightencounter 2-1 to Internazionale in nearby Düsseldorf. They also reached the final of last season's DFB-Pokal, losing4-2 to Bayern München.
• This is the 1987/88 UEFA Cup winners' sixth appearance in the UEFA Europa League proper and fourth in the groupstage. They have never failed to progress to the knockout phase, topping the group in their most recent participationtwo seasons ago ahead of Ludogorets, Zürich and AEK Larnaca.
• The Werkself's overall home record in the UEFA Europa League, play-offs included, is W13 D5 L2, with no defeatsin the last ten matches (W7 D3), which include two big wins at the BayArena this season – 6-2 against Nice and 4-1against Hapoel Beer-Sheva.
Slavia• Champions of the Czech Republic for the third time in four years last season, Slavia missed out on a secondsuccessive UEFA Champions League group stage adventure this term when, led again by coach Jindřich Trpišovský,they were defeated by Midtjylland in the play-offs (0-0 h, 1-4 a).
• Fourth in their UEFA Champions League section last season, behind Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund andInternazionale, Slavia are competing in the UEFA Europa League group stage for the fourth time. They failed to makefurther progress in 2009/10 and 2017/18 but went all the way to the quarter-finals on their last appearance, in2018/19, despite scoring just four goals in the group stage.
• Slavia's 3-1 win at Nice on Matchday 4 was only the second victory in their last nine European away fixtures (D3 L4),though they did draw at both Inter (1-1) and Barcelona (0-0) in last season's UEFA Champions League. Their overallrecord on the road in the UEFA Europa League proper is W4 D4 L6, the latest defeat 3-1 at Hapoel Beer-Sheva onMatchday 1.
