Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich tips and predictions

Bundesliga match offers big price for Bayer Leverkusen win

It would be fantasy stuff to say that Bayer Leverkusen should be favoured but the visiting team has definitely been overrated. It breaks down as follows.

These away players by all accounts have too many tools in the box but it might not be as straightforward as that. The hosts have bagged 11 wins in their last 16 matches while the travelling side has tasted defeat in 1 of their recent 3 matches on the road. It would be misleading to say it's going to be easy but Bayer Leverkusen have done enough to earn respect.

Bayer Leverkusen will need to hope that their rivals are complacent. They can also take encouragement from their own good results. Is this home team in any form in previous performances? They have scored two or more goals in 13 of their recent 16 matches and their determination has been evident all over the field. In defence they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 9 home games.

There have been episodes when Bayern Munich have lost their shape and they haven't had foundations near their 18-yard line. They have conceded three or more goals in 2 of their last 5 matches. To have any chance of success, the home team must not stutter in front of goal.

The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Bayern Munich. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option on this occasion.

So what will actually give this home squad confidence to get the job done? It's worth reiterating their recent attacking displays. It could be what is required if they expect to deny the visitors.
