Ratings are our own 0-99 scale, built only from results data: ATT = 65 + 30 × log2(attack index), DEF = 65 − 30 × log2(defence index) (index 1.00 = competition average), FRM = 30 + 69 × points from the last 5 games ÷ 15, ELO = 60 + (Elo − 1500) ÷ 9, OVR = 30% ATT + 30% DEF + 20% FRM + 20% ELO. Each is capped to 1-99. The Manager style shows the same numbers on a 1-20 scale (rating ÷ 99 × 20). Ratings use only games before kick-off. Educational analysis, not betting advice.

Leverkusen (2nd, 9 pts from 3) host Marseille (34th, 0 pts from 3) in the Europa League table as it stands. Leverkusen have scored 8 and conceded 0 in 3 Europa League games (2.7 and 0.0 per game). Marseille have scored 1 and conceded 6 in 3 Europa League games (0.3 and 2.0 per game). Recent form across all competitions (oldest to newest): Leverkusen WWLWL, Marseille WLWLW. In the last meeting on record, Leverkusen won 1, Marseille won 0 and 0 were drawn. The goals model expects about 2.4–0.5. Leverkusen are clear favorites: Leverkusen 80%, draw 15%, Marseille 6%. The single most likely score is 2–0, but even that only has a 16% chance. Elo ratings (Leverkusen 1626, Marseille 1532) give Leverkusen an expected score of 71%, which agrees with the goals model. Small sample warning: one side has only 3 Europa League games this season, so these numbers lean heavily on competition averages.
