Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich: Preview and betting tips

Bayer Leverkusen beat Ferencváros on Thursday and will now turn their sights back to the Bundesliga to take on the strongest team in the league, none other than Bayern Munich. However, the Bavarian team has also had great success, having knocked out PSG and now Manchester City awaits them.

Both teams definitely have something to play for! Dortmund are closing in on Bayern, already just two points behind, while Leverkusen are chasing the teams ahead of them to make it to the European Cups again next year.

That being said, however, both German sides are in good spirits as they move on in the Champions League and, consequently, the Europa League. While Bayer, of course, face Belgium’s Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the quarter-finals, Bayern will challenge Manchester City, who will do everything they can to top the millionaire’s competition.

Leverkusen have been slow to get into form this season, but can now enjoy 5 wins from their last 6 games. Moreover, they are scoring goals regularly, the biggest driver being Moussa Diaby, who has scored 12 goals and assisted 5 more this season in a Bayer jersey, which has helped him into the French national team.

Bayern Munich have been rolling all opponents from the start and have only lost twice so far – Augsburg 1::0 and Monchengladbach 3::2. In the first game of the season, the Bavarian side destroyed Leverkusen 4:0, with Leroy Sané scoring the opening goal in the third minute.

Prediction

There is really nothing to think about in this case. Looking at the league matches of both teams, everyone’s eyes will immediately be struck by the goal shootouts we have witnessed recently.

Moreover, in 11 of the last 13 games between the two teams, fans have seen at least 3 goals. However, this statistic becomes even more important when we look at the statistics of the matches in which Leverkusen is the home team.

In the last 4 away games, Munich have scored 15 goals against Bayer and the home team has also scored. Similar statistics could be found in the last Bundesliga matches of both teams.
