Bayern will continue their title defence with a home game against the team that dethroned them a few seasons ago – Bayer Leverkusen. The Bavarians are in sharp form, but Leverkusen have been steadily improving as well.
Bayern Munich Team News
No surprises here – Bayern are top of the Bundesliga table after matchday 8 and boast the only perfect record in the league. With only wins to their name, 30 goals scored and just 4 conceded, the Bavarians also boast the best attacking and defensive numbers in the Bundesliga. Bayern has won 6 of its 8 league fixtures by at least 2 goals, with the only exception being the victories over Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker and against Augsburg. The Bavarians also have just 1 loss in their last 24 home fixtures, with 5 of their 6 home fixtures across all competitions this season ending in victories with a 2+ goal margin.
Bayer Leverkusen Team News
While Bayern’s numbers are indeed scary to any visiting team, Leverkusen’s performance in recent weeks has seen a constant improvement. Despite a heavy UCL loss to PSG, Bayer is on a 4-game winning streak in the Bundesliga. In fact, the loss against the reigning UCL champions is the only one for the team since the appointment of Kasper Hjulmand. One thing to note about Leverkusen’s results is that they are yet to be defeated on the road and boast the longest unbeaten away league run in Europe’s top five divisions. Out of their 6 away games this season in all tournaments, Bayer Leverkusen has won 4 and drawn in the remaining 2.
Head-to-Head-Games
The recent H2H between Bayern and Bayer is slightly tilted in favour of the former. The Bavarians have won their 2 most recent meetings with Leverkusen, but those were UCL fixtures. In the Bundesliga, the Bavarians haven’t won against Leverkusen since 2022.
Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Prediction
Even though Leverkusen has had a favourable recent H2H against Bayern in the Bundesliga, based on current form, there is no denying it – the Bavarians are in much better form and have the statistics to back their dominance. Their performances have been stellar and leave no room for questions about their domestic dominance. With that in mind, my pick here is for a Bayern Munich -1.5AH. I think that they will win with a good margin here, just as they have done in the vast majority of their games since the start of the season.
