Leverkusen have started the season in impressive fashion and their potency in the final third has been eye-catching.
The side from North Rhine-Westphalia have played eight matches in all competitions so far this term, scoring at least twice in six of those matches.
Leverkusen’s goal difference of +9 after six matches in the Bundesliga is the second best in the competition after Bayern Munich, with only the champions and Borussia Dortmund scoring more goals.
The visitors will feel they have more than enough firepower to get among the goals against a Celtic side who conceded four times to Real Betis and kept just two clean sheets in their last seven fixtures.

The price of 20/21 (1.98) for an away win should draw plenty of interest, while backing Leverkusen to score over 1.5 goals at 8/11 (1.73) looks like a tempting option.
The price of 13/8 (2.62) meanwhile for the German side to score in both halves could also be a shrewd way of investing in them to get among the goals on Thursday evening.
