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

Last season’s champions face off against Germany’s top club

This week’s Bundesliga clash takes us to the Allianz Arena in Munich to witness a top of the table clash between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. The Bavarians will be keen to keep their perfect start intact and will also want to settle scores with Xabi Alonso and his men for the last edition’s heartbreak. Vincent Kompany’s side have scored 29 goals this season across all competitions.

Bayer Leverkusen on the other hand will need the rabbit out of their hat to keep Bayern at bay. The Black and Reds have won three out of their four league games but are three points behind their arch-rivals. The defending champions of Germany will have to come out all guns blazing to keep their title defense on track.

Kick Off

Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich

Players to watch 

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

The England captain has not let a change in scenery affect his goal-scoring form. Kane has continued his fine run of form upfront and is well on course to defend his European golden boot. The 30-year-old striker is Bayern’s leading goalscorer this season and has found the back of the net on ten occasions across all competitions. He has scored in all of Bayern’s last four games, including three back-to-back hat tricks.

Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)

The German wonderkid has picked up from where he left last season. He played a pivotal role in his side’s magical title run last season and has left no stones unturned this season either. Wirtz has been Bayer Leverkusen’s best player in all of their last five league games with five goal contributions to his name.
