Leverkusen vs Arsenal

This is a Round of 16 first leg. Arsenal enters with maximum confidence after topping the table, while Leverkusen (16th) has struggled for consistency under Kasper Hjulmand. The weather forecast for Leverkusen is cold and wet (50% rain risk), which favors Arsenal's high-pressing, high-intensity physical style over Leverkusen's more technical wing-back system.
