Bayer Leverkusen has been a bogey team for Bayern Munich, and the hosts are undefeated in five consecutive games against the Bavarians. This is a very big game for Bayer Leverkusen as a defeat here would derail their title hopes. Xabi Alonso has already beaten Bayern at the Allianz Arena this season, and his team is capable of avoiding defeat here.
Bayern Munich aren’t so ruthless this season, but they are still a good scoring side and can get at least a goal, irrespective of the outcome. A bet on both teams to score & the hosts to avoid defeat is a good pick on Leverkusen vs Bayern predictions.

Bayern Munich always find it difficult to break teams down so early in the game, and there has been a lot of patience in Kompany’s playing style. In their last two games, Bayern Munich have been level at 0-0 by the 30-minute mark, and they didn’t score in the first half of their last league match. Xabi Alonso’s team has also been level at the half-hour mark in their last two matches. We expect an intense game here, and both teams will be careful not to go behind early. Backing the score to be level by 30mins has good value on Leverkusen vs Bayern betting tips.
