They reached this stage by beating West Ham 2-0 at home and then scoring late in London to draw 1-1. A 97th-minute goal preserved the unbeaten streak in a 1-1 draw away to Dortmund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Six days later, they again needed a 97th-minute goal to rescue a 2-2 home draw vs Stuttgart to keep their hopes of a completely unbeaten season alive. A 2-0 win away to AS Roma put them close to reaching the Europa League final. On Sunday, they thrashed Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 away in the league with five goals from just nine shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/europa-league\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: UEL<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leverkusen-team-news\"><span class=\"green\">Leverkusen Team News<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Xabi Alonso made nine changes for the league match over the weekend.

Before that, it was one loss in 12 matches since the appointment of Daniele De Rossi. They reached this stage by beating Brighton 4-0 at home before losing 1-0 away in the last-16. Some top results in April saw a 1-0-win vs Lazio and a 3-1 aggregate victory over AC Milan in the Europa League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 1-0 away win in Milan was followed by a 2-1 home win in the second leg. After a shock 3-1 home loss to Bologna, they beat Udinese 2-1 in the last minute. A 2-2 draw at Napoli and a 2-0 home loss to Leverkusen followed.

Tammy Abraham will be on the bench to provide firepower in the second half. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div   id="7rtdq1biye"    class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bet.machibet777-affiliate.com\/sports\/soccer\/europa-league\/\" style=\"background-color:#f2a12a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bet Now: UEL<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-roma-motivation\"><span class=\"green\">Roma Motivation<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Roma\u2019s chances of progress are slim.
