Bayer Leverkusen welcome Marseille to the BayArena with nine points separating them after three Europa League matches. Bongda24h lists kick-off at 03:00 on 6 November in Vietnam and places Leverkusen second in its pre-match standings, with Marseille 34th on zero points.
European consistency, domestic setbacks
Leverkusen have won all three European games, scoring eight goals and keeping three clean sheets. Their latest Europa League outing was a 2-0 victory over OFI Crete on 22 October.
Their subsequent domestic sequence was less consistent. Carles Martinez's side lost two Bundesliga matches and beat Nurnberg 5-2 in the German Cup. The most recent result was a 4-2 defeat against Stuttgart, leaving them sixth with 13 points after eight league rounds in the source's snapshot.
That Stuttgart result also ended Leverkusen's run of five home wins at the start of the season. They now return to the BayArena for a different competition in which their record remains perfect.
Marseille improve in France
Despite taking no European points, Marseille have won four consecutive Ligue 1 games. The report lists them sixth domestically on 15 points, three behind second-placed Lille and five behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
After an opening spell of five defeats and one win, Bruno Genesio's team recorded four victories in six matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding seven. Their away form includes seven defeats in the last 10 trips, according to Bongda24h.
The next assignment brings those contrasting European records together: Leverkusen seek to extend their winning start, while Marseille pursue their first league-phase points on 6 November.
