Expert Analysis and Prediction
While I’m certainly not expecting Bayer Leverkusen to simply roll over in this matchup against league-leading Bayern Munich, the fact of the matter is that the Bavarians have been completely and utterly dominating this season far more often than not. Not only that, but in 89 encounters in this rivalry, Bayern Munich has an inasne 54-19 edge with 16 draws.
Then, there’s the revenge factor. With Bayer Leverkusen having won two straight in this series including a narrow 2-1 last November, I’m fully expecting Bayern Munich to come out firing on all cylinders. While Bayer Leverkusen has won 4 of their last 5 home matches against their Bundesliga rivals, Bayern Munich has won four of their last five matches by at least two goals while keeping clean sheets in an impressive seven their last eight matches in all competitions. Bayer Leverkusen will definitely put up a fight, but in the end, Bayern Munich will not be denied.
