Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen

Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are set to trade tackles in a mouth-watering Bundesliga showdown at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich’s hard-fought 1-0 win away to Eintracht Frankfurt last time out made it two Bundesliga triumphs in a row for the perennial German champions, who are seeking a record-extending tenth title on the trot. The ‘Bavarians’ have been by the joint-most dominant home side in Germany’s top-flight this season, picking up the joint-most points (30) and scoring the second-most goals (37) in the home league matches so far. In fact, Bayern have never scored as many goals (75) after 24 Bundesliga fixtures as they have this season, averaging a resounding 3.12 goals per game. Additionally, Julien Nagelsmann’s men have won each of their last four Bundesliga meetings with Leverkusen by an aggregate score of 10-3 after losing two in a row beforehand.

Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen instantaneously bounced back from a shock 3-2 defeat away to Mainz with an overwhelming 3-0 home triumph over Arminia Bielefeld last time out to maintain a four-point lead on fifth-placed Freiburg. ‘Die Werkself’ have now won five of their last six Bundesliga outings (L1), netting a staggering average of 3.16 goals per victory in that sequence! However, Gerardo Seoane’s men have blown hot and cold on the road this season, as witnessed by their indifferent Bundesliga record away from the BayArena (W6, D3, L3). Moreover, they have lost three of their last five league matches on hostile turf (W2), conceding an alarming average of 3.33 goals per loss. Yet, like Bayern, Leverkusen are enjoying their most prolific Bundesliga season at this stage of the campaign, having bagged 63 goals after 24 league fixtures.
