The full picture
Bayer Leverkusen is set to face OFI in the Europa League, looking to extend their five-game winning streak, according to Bulinews. Leverkusen have been in strong form, responding well to their initial Bundesliga defeat.
OFI, who previously beat Hoffenheim 2-0, are considered underdogs but have struggled to replicate that success, with three subsequent losses coming away from home. They will be without several key players, including goalkeeper Nikolaos Christogeorgos.
Leverkusen coach Carles Martínez is likely to rotate his squad, giving players like Loïc Badé, Robert Andrich, and Malik Tillman a chance to impress. Leverkusen are missing several players, including Martin Terrier and Christian Kofane.

Source context
Bayer Leverkusen will look to extend their impressive five-game winning streak in all competitions when they travel to Crete to face OFI in the Europa League on Thursday evening. OFI have already pulled off a surprise against German opposition in this season’s competition, beating Hoffenheim 2-0. That result should serve as a warning to Leverkusen not to underestimate their opponents, despite entering the contest as clear favourites. However, OFI have struggled to build on that memorable victory, failing to win any of their subsequent four matches. All three defeats did come away from home, though.
