Bayer Leverkusen will be hoping a bouncing BayArena helps them bundle Qarabag out of the Europa League and take them through to the quarter-finals.
Qarabag tore fearlessly into the Bundesliga leaders and raced into a two-goal lead at half-time of the first-leg meeting between the two sides.
However, Leverkusen survived the scare to draw 2-2 in Azerbaijan last week, and they know that a win of any kind at home will propel them into the Europa League's last eight, bringing their extraordinary unblemished season one step closer to potential European triumph.
