Bayer Leverkusen are through to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League, but need to defeat Racing Genk to ensure the top seed.
Bayer Leverkusen are in control of their own destiny in the UEFA Champions League, but their job is not done. They have already booked a place in the knockout stages, but may need a positive result against Racing Genk to clinch a top seed. If either Chelsea or Valencia takes all three points in the other Group E match, Bayer would need to win to finish top of the group.
Genk has nothing to play for but pride and they will be without star Kevin De Bruyne. That won't stop them from playing as hard as possible for a win, as they will likely want to give themselves a bit of a morale boost after suffering a 7-0 loss to Valencia in the last round.
