Recommended bet: Patrik Schick anytime goalscorer
Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League when they host Olympiacos in the second leg of their knockout phase play-off tie on Tuesday.
The Black and Reds are leading 2-0 from the first leg and they will be confident of their chances of progressing to the next round against the Greek since who have not reached the last 16 since the 2013-14 campaign.

Prediction
Leverkusen should have enough quality in their ranks to move into the last 16, but there is not much value in backing them in the match result market and it may prove better to look at an anytime goalscorer.
Czech Republic international Schick was the star of the show in the first leg, netting both goals in the 2-0 triumph, and he can put in another huge performance for the Bundesliga outfit on home soil.
The 30-year-old came off the bench on the hour mark in Saturday's defeat at Union and that cameo will not have taken too much out of his legs, meaning he will be raring to go for this European assignment.
Schick has scored four goals in his last four starts for Leverkusen and he has been impressive in the Champions League, netting three times across the league phase and the knockout phase play-off round.
With Olympiacos having to go on the attack to get back into this tie, there should be gaps for the hosts to exploit and Schick can add to his tally.
