- After a booking in the reverse fixture left-back Melgarejo joins Matic and Almeida on one caution away from a suspension.
- Matic and Cardozo missed the league game with Academica at the weekend through suspension but are eligible to play here, with the latter netting the decider in Leverkusen last time out.
- Elsewhere the likes of Pereira, Perez and Salvio could come into the side in place of Almeida, Gomes and Urreta respectively.
- For the visitors, centre-backs Schwaab and Friedrich are both a booking away from picking up a one-match ban.
- The likes of Omer Toprak, Daniel Carvajal and Stefan Reinartz could return to the side having been rested during the first leg, with Leverkusen not playing Bundesliga bottom club Furth until Sunday.
- At left-back Sebastian Boenisch and Michal Kadlec vie for a start, while Sidney Sam may be preferred as a more attacking option to sacrifice one of the German outfit's defence-minded midfielders.
