Preview: West Ham vs. Bayer Leverkusen - Team news and prediction.

Leverkusen was totally dominant in the first leg against West Ham, where the 2-0 victory could easily have been larger if they had shown greater efficiency. Leverkusen has yet to lose this season, and over the weekend, they celebrated the club's first championship, so the question is whether they will have a hangover for tonight's match or if they are filled with confidence and continue the impressive streak they are on.

Leverkusen has scored 2+ goals in 6 out of their last 7 away matches.
