Ofi vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

OFI hosts Bayer Leverkusen on 22 October 2026 at 19:45 in the third round of the UEFA Europa League. The Greek side plays at Pankritio Stadium in Heraklion. Leverkusen arrive as heavy favorites after wins over Lech Poznań (4:0 in Europe) and Freiburg (2:1 in the Bundesliga). OFI sit 18th in the league phase table with three points from two matches and lost their last two games: 1:2 away to Rennes in Europe and 3:4 to Kalamata in the Greek Super League.

Form and H2H

OFI won four of their last ten matches at home but also lost four. They average 1.50 goals for and 1.31 against in that stretch. The Greek club scores in 9 of 10 recent home games across all competitions and typically plays an aggressive attacking style on their own pitch. Leverkusen's away form in Europe is sharp: eight wins and one draw in their last ten Europa League matches, averaging 2.80 goals for and 1.00 against. They have not conceded in any of their Europa League away games this season and avoided defeat in 9 of 10 recent European matches. Leverkusen's attacking duo of Ibrahim Mazo and Patrik Schick scored in both recent victories.

Best bet

Both teams to score offers value given the contrasting styles. OFI attack freely at home and have found the net in nine of their last ten domestic matches. Leverkusen scored at least twice in nine of their last ten games across all competitions and rarely shut out opponents entirely. The main risk is Leverkusen's defensive discipline on the road, where they have limited opponents to 13 shots per game in most Europa League rounds. However, OFI's home intensity should generate at least one clear chance. Both teams to score is available at 1.80 with 1xBet.
