Villarreal
Only one team truly needs points in the final Champions League fixture, and that is Bayer Leverkusen.
A victory here would secure their place among the top 24 teams and ensure progression to the next phase of the competition. Villarreal, on the other hand, are coming to the end of a dreadful Champions League campaign. In seven matches, they have collected just one point with a goal difference of 5:15, leaving them with nothing left to play for.
What we say
Bayer Leverkusen to Win
Leverkusen have enjoyed a solid Champions League campaign and approach this match with clear motivation and purpose. They appear better structured and more focused than a struggling Villarreal side, who are also dealing with the absence of key defender Juan Foyth after his injury in the previous match. With Villarreal likely to rotate due to the lack of incentive, Leverkusen stand out as the stronger and more motivated side to take all three points.
