Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich welcome Bayer Leverkusen to the Allianz Arena on Matchday 25 of the German Bundesliga. The fixture, which is shaping up to be a cracker, kicks off at 20:00 IST on the 5th of March, 2022.
Bayern return to their favorite hunting ground this season as they look to continue their cruise to yet another Bundesliga title. Leverkusen, on their part, are in red hot form and sit third on the league standings and will hope to secure their place in Europe’s top competition next season.
Both teams come into this game on the back of league victories, so we expect a fiercely contested affair.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side are gunning for a 10th straight Bundesliga title and come into this game with an 8-point lead at the summit of the league table. After a minor blip that saw them lose 1 and draw another, they have returned to winning ways with consecutive league victories.
The Bavarians have gathered 58 points from 24 games all season, scoring 75 goals and conceding 26.

FIFA Men’s Best Player Robert Lewandowski tops the scoring charts as expected with a league-leading record of 28 goals and 1 assist.
For injuries and suspensions, Bayern Munich will be without Alphonso Davies, Manuel Neuer, Corentin Tolisso, Thomas Muller, and Leon Goretzka as they are sidelined with varying degrees of injuries and illnesses.
Leverkusen are placed third on the Bundesliga table after 24 games. They bounced back from a loss that halted their 4-game winning run with a routine victory at home to Arminia Bielefeld. They are in red-hot scoring form, too, with a goal in every league game since late October.
Bayer have managed a haul of 44 points from 24 matches, with 13 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses. They have scored an impressive 63 goals and conceded 39.
