Victor Boniface has warned his Bayer Leverkusen teammates they must be at their best against Norwegian club, Molde.
Bayer Leverkusen will travel to Molde on Thursday for their Europa League match-day two encounter.
Boniface has a good knowledge of Erling Moe’s side having come up against them several times during his time in Norway with Bodo/Glimt.
The 22-year-old is expecting a difficult game against the modest side.
“Molde are one of the top teams in the Norwegian league and they compete for the title year after year,” Boniface told the club’s official website.
“Molde were the reigning champions when I joined Bodø/Glim in 2019, and in the next two years when we won the league, Molde were the main competitors as runners-up.
“We definitely can’t afford to underestimate them also because they are at home. The artificial pitch there could be to their advantage. For us, there will be rather unusual playing conditions.”
Boniface was the joint-top scorer in the UEFA Europa League last season with six goals.
The Nigerian striker already has one goal and an assist in the competition this season.
