Bayer Leverkusen - Bayern München predictions

Though Bayer Leverkusen definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Bayern München are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

The Bavarians are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Bayer Leverkusen are here after a straightforward and decisive victory at Darmstadt 98 last round. They were universally seen as a much stronger team, so it’s no surprise that they dominated the game and ended with a score of 0:2.

Bayern bagged a relatively easy 3:1 victory against Borussia M'gladbach in their previous Bundesliga match. The fans at their home stadium were treated to an uneventful showing in the first half followed by complete annihilation in the second.

Whenever met on their home pitch, the hosts tend to perform at a high level. They scored more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games alone, marking this match as interesting for BTTS and Over 5 Goals markets.

The Bavarians’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 8 in their previous 3 away games.

These two teams reached a stalemate earlier in this season of the Bundesliga. Bayern were expected to win that game and even had the support of their home fans. The roles are reversed this time, but the 2.49 betting odds for an away win tell us they still have a decent shot at redeeming themselves.

Though the visitors are clearly considered favourites, they’ll have some additional hurdles to overcome for this match. Namely, Joshua Kimmich, Bouna Sarr, Alphonso Davies, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Tarek Buchmann, Tom Ritzy Hülsmann, Daniel Peretz will all be kept from the game due to injury. It’s a precarious position despite the team’s strength and should be kept in mind when looking at the betting odds.

The best thing to do in this game is to put down a Home Win or Draw Double Chance bet and feel fairly confident about it. All signs point to one of these two outcomes being the final result, and the 1.58 odds at 1xbet offer decent value.
