Bayer is currently in the last position of its group with 3 points and is 3 points behind Porto, team that is in the second position and today qualified to the Champions League, if it wants to continue aspiring to European qualification positions, Bayer must win this game and wait for Porto to lose, also, it must win the other game to fight for a place in the round of 16.
