Ofi vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

I'm backing both teams to score at 1.76 on 1xBet. OFI host Bayer Leverkusen on 22 October 2026 at 19:45, and I see a match where both sides will find the net. Leverkusen arrive as heavy favorites—they've won or drawn 9 of their last 10 Europa League games and conceded just once in their away fixtures this competition. But I'm not betting the result. I'm betting on what I see in how these teams actually play.

OFI scored in 9 of their last 10 home matches across all competitions. They're aggressive on their own ground and regularly trouble opposing goalkeepers. Leverkusen, meanwhile, scored at least twice in 9 of their last 10 games in all tournaments. Their recent 4-0 demolition of Lechia and 2-1 win over Freiburg showed clinical finishing from Ibrahim Maza and Patrik Schick. I expect Leverkusen to dominate possession and control the midfield, but OFI's home intensity should carve out their chances. Both teams will score.

Form and H2H

I'm looking at OFI's last 10 at home: they average 1.50 goals for and 1.31 against. They've won four, drawn two, and lost four. The two recent road defeats—1-2 to Rennes in Europa League and 3-4 to Kalamata in the Super League—hurt, but I know home form tells a different story for Greek sides. OFI sit 18th in the Europa League table with 3 points from two matches.

Leverkusen's away form is the real edge: I see 8 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss in their last 10, averaging 2.80 goals for and just 1.00 against. They've been nearly impenetrable on the road in Europe this season, keeping clean sheets in all their away group-stage games. But I've also seen their defensive discipline tested when they face teams that press high and create chances from open play. OFI will press. That's where I find my angle.

Best bet

I take Both Teams Score yes at 1.76. This is the price I'm comfortable with on 1xBet. I'm not convinced Leverkusen will shut OFI out at home—the Greeks score regularly in front of their own fans, and Leverkusen's away clean sheets have come against weaker opposition. Leverkusen will score; that's almost certain given their form. The question is whether OFI get their goal, and I think they do. The odds reflect fair value for a match where both sides have the quality and intent to find the back of the net.

Odds to watch

I'm also tracking the match result. Leverkusen win is 1.25 on 1xBet—a steep favorite, and I understand why. But if I'm wrong about OFI scoring, I want to know the other outcomes: the draw sits at 6.74, and an OFI win at 12.4. Over 2.5 goals is 1.32 versus under at 3.00. I expect goals, so the over appeals, but my primary conviction is both teams scoring at 1.76.
