Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Olympiakos Piraeus in search of a European breakthrough

The clash between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Olympiakos Piraeus brings a new big night for the BayArena, where on February 24th at 21:00, the Football – European Champions League, 2025/2026 season, 32nd round match will be played. The stakes are high because in this part of the competition, nuances are often decided by a single ball, and the home field in Leverkusen traditionally carries additional pressure for the guests. Fan interest is already being felt through talk about tickets and travel planning, and ticket sales in weeks like this tend to accelerate as match day approaches. The BayArena, located at Bismarckstraße 122-124 in Leverkusen, is not a stadium that lives off its size, but off the proximity to the pitch and the intensity, which is why fan tension often grows into a match factor. If you want to be part of the atmosphere, tickets for this encounter are disappearing fast, so buy your tickets on time and click the button labeled

as soon as it becomes available.

The result from the first leg and what it means for the return match

This encounter comes with a clear story from the previous head-to-head match because Olympiakos achieved a 2:0 victory against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in January, which makes the return leg in Germany even more tense and tactically complex. When a team comes to visit with a concrete advantage, the entire preparation changes, from the choice of risk in building attacks to the way of defending transitions, and the host's need to turn early pressure into opportunities grows. Leverkusen will, logically, look for a higher volume of attacks and more situations in the finishing phase, but at the same time must be careful not to open up space for quick exits by the guests, who proved to be vertical and patient in the first match. For fans, this usually means a match with pronounced rhythm oscillations, where a moment can spill over from the dominance of one team into a sudden chance on the other side. Precisely such scenarios further increase the value of the live experience, so tickets become more than a formality; they are the entry into a night where everything can happen.

Current standings and home momentum as the background of the big match

The domestic context of Bayer 04 Leverkusen enters this match from the position of the sixth-placed team in the Bundesliga, which clearly says that points in the championship are at a high level of competition, but also that every big European date is an opportunity for additional momentum. According to available data on the league standings, Leverkusen is at the top of the table and keeps pace with the clubs ahead, and it is mentioned that at this moment they have 32 points, which further emphasizes how tight the fight is for positions that lead to elite European matches. Olympiakos, on the other hand, holds second place in the Greek championship, with a performance that includes 13 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss after 17 matches, with 42 points, right behind the leading team at 44, which confirms the stability and continuity of results. When such a ranking is combined with the fact that a match attracting fans of different cultures and cheering styles is on the schedule, interest in tickets naturally grows, especially among travelers planning to come from the wider region of Cologne and DĂŒsseldorf. In practice, this means that buying tickets at the right time becomes part of the fans' strategy, just as the strategy on the pitch is part of the coach's plan, because no one wants to stay outside the stadium when a night of European football begins.

BayArena and Leverkusen as the scenery for a big night

In European nights, the BayArena is often described as a compact stadium that keeps fans close to the game, and the capacity of around 30,210 seats creates the impression of full, condensed noise when the stands are filled. The history of the stadium goes back to 1958, and later, through phases of modernization and renovation, it gained its current form that emphasizes visibility, the steepness of the stands, and the feeling that the field is within reach. In such an environment, every duel, every set piece, and every goalkeeper save sounds louder, and the atmosphere easily spills onto the pitch, which is why tickets for such matches are sought after even among those who usually only come to the biggest derbies. Leverkusen as a city lies along the Rhine and is located between Cologne and DĂŒsseldorf, so many fans turn their arrival into a one-day trip, combining a walk along the river with arriving at the stadium. That is why the sale of tickets for this event is not just formal information, but part of a wider planning of the evening, from travel to entering the stands, and if you are thinking about coming, secure your tickets as soon as possible and follow the button labeled

How Bayer 04 Leverkusen plays under Kasper Hjulmand

Bayer 04 Leverkusen enters this season with a clear coaching signature because Kasper Hjulmand took over the team and received a mandate that lasts until the summer of 2027, which suggests a plan to build an identity rather than short-term fire extinguishing. His approach is generally associated with organized football, discipline in structure, and clear roles in phases without the ball, which is especially important against an opponent who knows how to wait for their chance. Recent reports also mention the value of experience in the locker room, for example through the role of Lucas Vázquez, who at certain moments of the season was a symbol of stabilization, and such profiles can be crucial when the pressure rises. In the European context, the team must rely on precision in set pieces and quality on the flanks, where players like Álex Grimaldo can create an advantage, either by crosses or by moving into the center, depending on the opponent's formation. Fans buying tickets often want to see exactly such details live—how the height of the pressing changes, how the half-space opens up, and how the tempo accelerates when the stadium senses the moment—and ticket sales this week are therefore naturally tied to the feeling that top-level football can be watched at the BayArena.

Olympiakos Piraeus and Mendilibar's signature

Olympiakos Piraeus comes to Leverkusen with coach José Luis Mendilibar, who has vast experience and profiles of matches where pragmatism is as important as courage at the right moment. In public statements and materials, the club represents Mendilibar as a coach who has gone through long competitive periods and knows how to set up a team to be competitive in different rhythms, from slower matches to open exchanges. The Olympiakos squad in the 2025/2026 season, according to available player lists, includes several well-known names, among them Gelson Martins, Daniel Podence, and Ayoub El Kaabi, along with a series of players who bring energy in the middle and security in the back line. Additional confidence comes from the fact that at the end of January, Olympiakos celebrated a 2:1 away victory against Ajax, which is an indicator that the team is not afraid of big stages and knows how to play with discipline and in someone else's rhythm. In such a team profile, traveling fans have one more reason to think about tickets, because nights like these are remembered even when the result goes one way, and when it goes the other, even more so.

Tactical points that can decide the match

The return leg in Leverkusen is most often broken down on three tactical levels: control of the midfield, defense of the space behind the full-backs, and quality in set pieces, and both teams have the tools for each of these zones. Leverkusen will likely look for a faster triggering of attacks through side corridors and more aggressive pressure after losing the ball, but that always carries a risk if Olympiakos manages to bypass the pressing with the first pass. On the other hand, the guests will look at how to slow down the match when necessary and how to hit the host at the moment when the stands rise the most, because then even the smallest error in passing can open up a big chance. An additional framework is given by the performances of individuals in the competition itself, where Álex Grimaldo with four goals and Gelson Martins with three goals stand out as the top scorers of their teams in this cycle, suggesting who to watch out for especially in the final stages of actions. For the spectator in the stands, this means it's worth focusing on one-on-one duels and on who will be the first to impose their rhythm, and tickets in such matches offer value because it's best seen on the spot how tiny details turn into a big advantage.

Practical information for arrival and entering the stadium

For visitors planning to come to the BayArena, it is important to know that the stadium is in the heart of Leverkusen, and the club's arrival instructions highlight several public transport and car access options, which in practice facilitates evening planning. Traveling by train is often the simplest because the Leverkusen Mitte station is about a 20-minute walk to the stadium, with connections to regional lines and the city railway, and Leverkusen Chempark station is mentioned as an additional option, from where shuttle buses can run on match days. For those arriving by car, the instructions also list the address Marienburger Straße in Leverkusen as a practical entry for navigation to access the zone around the stadium, after which it is recommended to follow local signage and instructions from stewards. In matches like this, it is worth arriving earlier, not only because of checks at the entrances but also to enjoy the atmosphere around the stadium, where the fan pulse is felt before the first whistle and where talk of tickets usually turns into shared anticipation.
