Bayer Leverkusen can technically afford a narrow defeat in their Champions League playoff return match against Piräus, but the Bundesliga side is determined to secure a win. Their aspirations hinge on striker Patrik Schick delivering a decisive performance to help them achieve a 1:0 scoreline that would likely see them advance to the next round.
The German club recognizes the importance of their talismanic forward, who will need to be at his best if Leverkusen is to overcome their Greek opponents and continue their European campaign.
