Les Pirates head into the match on a three-game unbeaten streak, scoring seven goals while conceding once. They have lost just one of their last eight competitive home games and will look to build on that form.

Abdallah Sima was back in training following a hamstring injury and faces a late fitness test. Julien Le Cardinal and Soumaïla Coulibaly were absent against Rennes in Ligue 1 last week, and are unlikely to start here.

Die Werkself are on a seven-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, scoring 18 goals, and will look to continue their prolific run here. They have won their last two away meetings against French teams, scoring three goals each.

Xabi Alonso is likely to start Patrik Schick in this match after Victor Boniface was injured last week. There are no other absentees for Leverkusen for the trip to Brest.
