In the eighth game week of the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen will host Bayern Munich at the BayArena in Leverkusen at 19:00 IST on October 17th. According to the bookmakers, Bayern Munich are the favorites to win the match.

Teams Status

Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen is coming off three straight wins against Stuttgart, Mainz, and Arminia right before the international break. With 16 points from the first seven games, they are now in second place in the Bundesliga. So far, they have won five matches, lost one, and drawn one. They have an average home record, with two wins and one loss, and are now ranked 10th. They’ve won five games in a row in all competitions. With 20 goals scored and only seven goals conceded this season, they are the second-highest scoring team in the league. The Czech Republic striker has come well for Leverkusen as well as he has netted six goals so far and is the leading goal scorer for them. Robert Andrich is suspended for the next game against Bayern. While Mitchel Bakker, Niklas Lomb, Baumgartlinger, Edmond Tapsoba and Timothy Fosu-Mensah are also out due to injuries.

Bayern Munich

Last game week, Bayern Munich’s 13-match unbeaten streak was broken by Frankfurt. They are still in first place in the Bundesliga with 16 points, tied with Bayer Leverkusen. They have won five games, drawn one, and lost one. After a draw against M’gladbach in their first meeting, they never looked back, winning the following five matches before losing to Frankfurt. They’re averaging 3.4 goals per game in the league and only allowing one goal per game. It’s unsurprising to see Robert Lewandowski, the Bundesliga’s leading goal scorer, at the top of the scoring charts with seven goals, and he’s continued where he left off last season. They have just a couple of players on the injury list with Benjamin Pavard being suspended and Sven Ulreich out with a knee injury.

Tipster’s Angle

Bayern Munich have dominated this fixture over the years as they have won 14 of the last 20 head-to-head matches. This could also far out in a similar fashion as well. But Leverkusen could put up a fight as they have been playing exceptionally well. A cracker of a high-scoring contest could be expected.

Tip: Bayern Munich To Win @ 1.65

Leverkusen has won two of the last ten head-to-head meetings, while Bayern has won eight of them. Leverkusen has won eight matches, drawn one match, and lost one match in their last ten matches across all competitions. Bayern, on the other hand, has won eight matches, drawn one match, and lost one match in their last ten games in all competitions. Bayern has won all three of their previous head-to-head meetings in the Bay Arena. Bayern has gone four games without losing on the road, while Leverkusen has lost one of the four matches that they played at home. So, it is very likely that Bayern Munich will win the match at 1.65 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 3.5 @ 1.77

A total of 44 goals were scored in the last ten head-to-head matchups, with an average of 4.4 goals per match. In seven of the matches, there were also more than 3.5 goals scored. Aside from that, in four of Leverkusen’s last five head-to-head matchups, over 3.5 goals were scored. Both sides are averaging nearly three goals per match in the Bundesliga this season. In six of Leverkusen’s last ten matches, the team has scored over 3.5 goals. Bayern, on the other hand, has seen more than 3.5 goals in eight of their past ten encounters in all competitions. As a result, the Betway sportsbook’s 1.77 odds suggest that over 3.5 goals will be scored.

Conclusion

Bayern Munich are once again strong contenders to win the Bundesliga title but they have Leverkusen up their throats. And a win for either team will take them three points clear of the other and Bayern Munich will be hoping to do so. It won’t be that easy as Leverkusen are also in good shape.
