Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 15th September 2023

Bayer Leverkusen take a trip to Allianz Arena this coming Friday to play against Bayern Munich. Facing the reigning champions so early into the new Bundesliga season is always a daunting prospect, but the visitors will no doubt give it their all to pull off a famous victory.

Both Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen have amassed an equal number of points during this season. While Bayern Munich occupy number two, the visitors are currently number one in the Bundesliga table.

Bayer Leverkusen should be highly motivated with the incentive of downing the champions from Bayern Munich in the tournament table, should they be able to pull off a somewhat surprising away win. Equally, we should see an inspired home side fighting to prevent that from happening.

Bayern Munich scored 2.4 goals on average in their past ten matches, hitting the target 24 times. They conceded 11 goals, an average of 1.1 and pulled off three clean sheets.

Ahead of their upcoming Bundesliga match, Bayer Leverkusen have an ample average of 1.7 goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a tolerable 17 goals, while also conceding 11 times. That amounts to an average of 1.1 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring four times.

It finished with a 2-1 win for Bayer Leverkusen in the most recent meeting between the two sides. Will they be able to put the brakes on their opponent again on Friday at Allianz Arena, or will Bayern Munich manage to assert some revenge?

Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

Bayern Munich Form

Bayern Munich are enjoying their football currently with three wins on the bounce, and it began with a 0-4 win against Werder Bremen. They went on to beat Augsburg by 3-1, before also getting the better of B. M'gladbach in a 1-2 victory. Bayern Munich won four of their previous six Bundesliga games at the Allianz Arena. They both drew and lost once, as they conceded seven and scored 17 goals.

Bayern Munich are understandable the favourites to win the Bundesliga this season and nothing but the title will be considered a failure for the ambitious club.

Bayer Leverkusen Form

Bayer Leverkusen are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. RB Leipzig got left behind in a 3-2 win, before B. M'gladbach got hammered in a 0-3 victory. Darmstadt was the most recent victim in a 5-1 win for Bayer Leverkusen. Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn three and lost one in their last six away in the Bundesliga.

While a title battle is perhaps a long shot, a top three finish does not look beyond Bayer Leverkusen, should they catch some strong momentum in this early phase of the campaign.

Bayern Munich are the bookies favourite to claim the win, when Bayer Leverkusen arrive at Allianz Arena, and we believe the home side will prevail.
