Bayern vs. Leverkusen: Preview and betting tips

Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen will be one of the most interesting matches across European football after the end of the national break. However, the Bundesliga’s leading teams are struggling. Bayern is not at all sovereign, Leverkusen is near the bottom of the table. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

The Bundesliga has a lot to look forward to. This weekend, a great match between two teams that are unexpectedly not doing so well. Bayern Munich will welcome Bayer Leverkusen to their home ground on Friday night.

Bayern are doing well in the Champions League, but have not won four games in the Bundesliga. They have drawn three times and lost their last game in the Bavarian derby to Augsburg. After seven rounds he is seventh in the league.

Leverkusen are much worse off. They did beat Atlético Madrid in the Champions League, but it was only their second competitive win this season and that was from ten games. Bayer lost six of them. They are 15th in the league with five points. Only Bochum is worse off on points.

Both teams need to catch up, get a start. And now they have the perfect opportunity. Especially for Bayer, it would be a huge boost for morale. But are its chances against the Bavarian giant realistic?

Not really, according to the statistics. Leverkusen have failed to win their last six matches against each other. They’ve lost five times and drawn once. The last time Bayern fell in this game was three years ago. Moreover, the fact is that the quality is simply on the side of the ten-time reigning champions.

And it should show in this match. Leverkusen look chaotic, disjointed, not in control of the defence and burning chances. The only chance is the return to form of Patrik Schick, who has finally broken through for the national team, which could help him.

Bayern are still destroying their opponents, rolling. But after the departure of Robert Lewandowski, they simply don’t have a typical goal scorer, which has led to a drop in productivity. Systematically and game-wise, it looks much better than Leverkusen.

So the verdict is clear. Bayern will definitely not lose. However, the odds on them winning are quite low. That’s why it’s worth betting on goals. Leverkusen’s defence is not really full of confidence. Moreover, both teams will want to show their attacking qualities, so we can expect that the match will not end without goals.
