Leverkusen travelled to Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium and secured a 2-0 victory, with Patrik Schick scoring twice in the second half. The opener arrived at 59:50, with Ernest Poku credited for the assist at 60:00, and the second at 61:02, assisted by Alejandro Grimaldo at 61:03. The result reflects a swift, data-backed shift in momentum after the break.

Olympiacos dominated overall shot volume, finishing with 13 attempts, but only 1 was on target, while Leverkusen managed 8 attempts with 5 on target. The clean sheet for Leverkusen confirms that finishing efficiency was the decisive factor, despite Olympiacos offering more chances and a higher total shot count. Both sides had 3 corners, and offside calls favored Olympiacos 2 to 1.

Defensively, Leverkusen produced a disciplined performance to stifle Olympiacos’ attack, allowing only a single on-target effort across the match. Olympiacos’ discipline showed with 1 yellow card each side, while fouls were slightly higher for Leverkusen (9) than for Olympiacos (7), indicating a more aggressive approach from the visitors in keeping the game tight.

Tactically, the two goals arrived in rapid succession in the second half, suggesting Leverkusen leveraged swift transitions and precise deliveries. Grimaldo’s assist for the second and Poku’s involvement in the opener point to width and link-play as critical factors, with no clear set-piece edge given equal corner counts.

From a betting-angle, Leverkusen’s finishing efficiency stands out: 5 on-target from 8 shots gives a high on-target accuracy (approximately 62.5%), compared with Olympiacos’ 1 from 13. The data suggests away effectiveness in front of goal and tighter defensive structure by Leverkusen, while Olympiacos’ high-volume work-rate translated into volume without clinical finishing. For future considerations, teams with similar shot profiles may back Leverkusen to convert a proportional share of chances in away fixtures, and Olympiacos should focus on improving shot quality and conversion to alter match momentum.
