Leverkusen comes to this stage finishing third in their group and eliminating Blackburn and in last round Lens. So far, they’ve played much better at home and they will search for the win in this match , with aim to make best possible result before second leg. Latest good performances Leverkusen owe to two great midfielders , both very experienced , Bernd Schneider and Sergej Barbarez. They are in great form and they are the best goal contributors lately for Leverkusen team.

Leverkusen have no squad problems , but Barbarez, Barnetta, Castro and Voronin are all within a caution of missing the return fixture in Pamplona so maybe we can expect more cautious performances from them.

Osasuna also play very good lately and they are very hard to beat.

Osasuna have some squad problems. Beside long term injured Delporte there are three new sidelined players, important Nekunam and Punal as well as defender Josetxo. Good news are Milosevic comeback in team , but it’s questionable is he ready for all 90 minutes.

Probable team could be :

Leverusen :

Adler/ Schwegler, Callsen-Bracker, Juan, Babic/ Freier, Schneider, Rolfes, Barbarez, Barnetta/ Voronin.

Osasuna :

Ricardo/ Izquierdo, Cruchaga, Flano, Corrales/ Juanfran, Garcia, Lopez, Munoz, Font/Soldado.

As you can see both teams will play in 4-5-1 formation.

both team don’t want to risk to much in elimination stage of competition. Leverkusen will certainly have better chances to win because they play at home and Osasuna have some important players missing.

I expect a low score game.

Good luck
