Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

A top-of-the-table clash from the Bundesliga.

Matchday 22 of the 2024-25 Bundesliga takes us to the home of the defending champions Bayer Leverkusen who welcome record champions Bayern Munich in a top-of-the-table clash. Leverkusen are off to their second-best start in the German top flight. But they are still eight points behind league leaders Bayern. They will have to pull off a miracle while hoping that Bayern drop points a few more times in order to defend their crown.

Bayern on the contrary are enjoying their best-ever start to a Bundesliga campaign having picked up 54 points in 21 matchdays. The Bavarians have scored 65 goals while conceding just 19 in the German top tier. They have been dominant by all means and are highly motivated to win back their title. Vincent Kompany’s men come into this game on the back of a Champions League win over Celtic.
