Bayern Munich’s title defence is progressing well and got a boost on Saturday as they registered a win while their closest challengers dropped points. The champions will on Tuesday host Bayer Leverkusen, with both gunning for the three points for different reasons. Bayern, who top the standings with 68 points want the three to aid in their title push while Leverkusen, placed fifth in the standings hope to use this chance to close in on a top four place. The hosts recovered from their elimination from the Champions League with a 3-2 win over Wolfsburg on Saturday, with Jamal Musiala scoring twice as Eric Choupo-Moting chipped in with another. They had a few scares in the game and yet again failed to keep a clean sheet – they have just three in the last 11 in the league but have lost only once in the last 14 league matches, winning 11. The team is dealing with quite a long injury list but Musiala and Choupo-Moting have really stepped up. A seven-game unbeaten run in the league and 24 matches unbeaten in the league at home is a good run going to this game but they have just one clean sheet in the last 11 league matches at home.

Leverkusen are targeting a top four finish and go to this game unbeaten in the last three league matches, with two straight clean sheets, but have failed to score in two of their last five matches. They were clinical against Köln in the last game, winning 3-0 as Leon Bailey scored a brace and Moussa Diaby the other. With five matches to go, they are six points below fourth and should look at their upcoming fixtures with belief they can get a Champions League slot. After three straight losses to Bayern Munich, they’ll be hoping to get three points here in their push for a top four finish. To get them, they have to improve greatly on their away form, having won just one of their last seven away league matches. In the seven matches, they’ve lost four, failed to score in four and managed just two clean sheets. Leverkusen have scored one or less in the seven away league games.
