Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Bayern Munich vs. Leverkusen at Bundesliga
The Bavarians have started the season furiously, and they want to reclaim what is theirs – the title. Meanwhile, Leverkusen seems good as well, and they come to Munich to beat their big rivals in their own home. This should be a spectacle because both units play open and offensive-minded football, with plenty of goals and action in front of both boxes.
Bayern Munich
Since the season began, the Bavarians have won all their competitive games. Their total goal difference is 29-4 throughout those six meetings. Pretty impressive, wouldn’t you say?
They played back-to-back games on the road in the Bundesliga, smashing Holstein in Kiel 1-6 and Werder in Bremen 0-5. From what we saw, Kompany accelerated Bayern’s game on the field and reverted the system to Jupp Heynckes’ settings.
This game will also be significant for him because many believe that the Belgian head coach lacks the needed experience to lead the most decorated German team. So, he enters this one with a chip on his shoulders.
Leverkusen
Xabi Alonso’s team had one loss this year. It was in the second Bundesliga round, at home against RB Leipzig, when the guests from East Germany won 2-3 in a spectacular game.
However, other than that, Lever is doing great, winning all of its rivals, usually by scoring two, three, or more goals. As a matter a fact, in the last three events, Bayer netted four hits in each one. And they continued winning in the injury time. The latest example was a win against Wolfsburg.
However, we must add that the defense isn’t as strong as expected and that Leverkusen conceded in all but one meeting this season. This is something Xabi needs to sort out.
Bayern Munich: Ulreich; Kimmich, Kim, Upamecano, Guerreiro; Pavlovic, Palhinha; Olise, Musiala, Gnabry; Kane
Leverkusen: Hradecky; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Xhaka, Andrich, Grimaldo; Wirtz, Terrier; Boniface
Lever was better than Bayern in their previous meeting, 3-0, in February last year. Prior to that, the two units met at Allianz, and the game ended without winners, 2-2. Lever didn’t lose the past three direct encounters.
This is something that additionally frustrates Bayern’s fans, who got used to bullying the entire league.
Let’s say the two sides are even when it comes to quality on the field. The difference maker here will be the head coach. And we have Xavi as the better one compared to Kompany. Simply, the Spaniard is a tactical genius, and because of him, our pick will be Leverkusen. For those who don’t agree with our suggestion, take over 3.5 goals because we expect fireworks of goals.
Our suggestion: Leverkusen wins
