Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Picks - Bundesliga

 by Bradley Gibbs | in Bundesliga Picks

Saturday's late kick-off in the German Bundesliga will be a showdown between the two big dogs, the two teams battling it out for the league title. That's right, it's a game between reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen and regular title winners Bayern, who are looking to regain the crown so rudely (and unexpectedly) stolen from them last season.

As things stand, the hosts are lagging behind in the race for the Bundesliga title, with Leverkusen currently sitting eight points behind the league leaders, making this a must-win game for Xabi Alonso's men, who should fancy themselves to put up a serious fight here. Let's face it, they've been strong at home this season. 

The visitors, out in front, know that winning this game would put them 11 points clear at the top, and would thus give them one hand on the title. Having scrapped to get the job done on the road in the UEFA Champions League during the week, Vincent Kompany's men should be feeling good, though their busy schedule means that they're having to do something of a juggling act at the minute. Will that play a part at BayArena? We'll soon find out.

Bayer Leverkusen - Bayern Munich: Form Analysis

The hosts were somewhat disappointingly held by Wolfsburg on the road last weekend, failing to score for the first time since misfiring away to Liverpool in the UCL back in early November, but they've been strong at home, so will likely fancy themselves to hurt a Bayern side that has had less time to prepare for this fixture. 

Playing away to Celtic in the week wasn't exactly the best preparation for the visitors, who won't be as fresh as their hosts at BayArena, while we have seen Bayern wobble on the road at times during the current domestic season, most recently when losing to Mainz back in December.

Bayer Leverkusen & Bayern Munich Squad Analysis

In terms of key players, the hosts have a clean bill of health, while they have no new injury concerns to contend with either, meaning that boss Xabi Alonso can pick his strongest team. You could say something similar for the visitors, though regular starter Alphonso Davies remains sidelined, while Jaoa Paulinha is out with illness. There could be some rotation from Kompany after the mid-week UCL game, with Kingsley Coman likely to replace Leroy Sane in the starting XI.

Bayer Leverkusen - Bayern Munich Key Points

  1. The visitors have kept a clean sheet in only one of their last four away games in the league.
  2. When Bayern last faced top-seven opposition away from home, they conceded two goals.
  3. The visitors have conceded multiple goals away in the Bundesliga against the likes of Wolfsburg, Frankfurt and Mainz this season.
  4. The hosts have scored two or more goals in six of their last seven games at BayArena.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Despite not having had as long to prepare for this game, the Bayern boys will fancy themselves to get the job done, but they're not going to have it easy at BayArena, where the hosts cna be devastating offensively, especially on the break, which something that the visitors struggle to guard against in games of this nature. That recent defet away to Mainz being a key example. Let's face it, home goals are far from unlikely here, so much so that odds of +120 are worth taking. Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Pick: Bayer Leverkusen to Score Over 1.5 Goals.

Florian Wirtz Over 0.5 Shots on Target

Odds -130
Those considering an additional bet here should think about betting on home forward Florian Wirtz to register a shot on target, which looks a little generously priced given how dangerous the German can be. Wirtz currently averages a chunky 1.35 shots on target per 90 minutes in the Bundesliga this season, while he's registered seven shots on target in his last eight appearances.
