“Achieving fourth spot in the Bundesliga was a big achievement for Leverkusen. Now we are here to finish the job and qualify for the Champions League,” Bayer Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt said, via UEFA’s website.
“We will try to play our pressing game, but obviously if we lose the ball FC København will have easy access to some serious scoring chances. You never know what to expect when you go out onto the pitch, but when you have your destiny in your own hands, you have to be well prepared. We are.
“It’s always better to go into the play-offs full of confidence [København have lost their last two home games] but at the same time you can say that while they lost, København have played far more matches than Leverkusen this season and that can also influence the game. I anticipate tough opponents; they will definitely try to achieve a good result at home at the Parken, but we want it as well.”
