Bayern Munich - Bayer Leverkusen: Form Analysis
While Bayern Munich is the team to beat in the Bundesliga, they have been a bit off their best in this competition, managing 15 points in their eight League Phase matches (W5 D0 L3).
Having lost to Aston Villa, Barcelona and Feyenoord, the Bavarians missed out on automatic qualification to the last 16 and only just squeaked by Celtic 3-2 on aggregate in the playoff rounds.
However, after beating Stuttgart in the league over the weekend, Die Roten are now unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions, seven of which ended in victory.
These sides played out a 0-0 draw in the Bundesliga less than three weeks ago!
The new Champions League format showed how fine margins can have big impacts, as Bayer Leverkusen finished just one point above their upcoming opponent, but that point translated into five places in the standings.
Die Werkself’s defeats in the competition were away games against Liverpool (4-0) and Atletico Madrid (1-0), while they also dropped points on the road in a 1-1 draw with Brest.
Still, the visitors are unbeaten in their last eight matches across all competitions. They have also avoided defeat at the Allianz Arena in their last three visits.

Bayern Munich & Bayer Leverkusen Squad Analysis
Harry Kane will be looking for greater success this week compared to a fortnight ago against this opponent. The England captain has seven goals in this competition, and no player has had more goal involvements than him since the start of last season (20 - five assists and 15 goals).
The Bavarians will be hopeful that Joshua Kimmich will be fully fit, having missed the weekend’s match against Stuttgart with a hamstring issue. Alphonso Davies is expected to be available despite suffering a knock in his last outing.
Patrik Schick has scored 15 goals in his last 10 league starts for Bayer Leverkusen!
Indeed, the Czech Republic international has been on a tear in the German top-flight this season, second in the race for the Kicker-Torjagerkanone, five goals behind Kane.
In this competition, Florian Wirtz is the one putting up a strong challenge to the Three Lions’ skipper with six goals and an assist, just two goal involvements short of Michael Ballack's club record in a single European season (9).
