Bayern Munich – Leverkusen

Bayern will unleash all their might on the reigning German champions

The centrepiece of the European football weekend will take place in Munich. The hosts were left without a single trophy at both the national and European arenas at the end of last season. This happened to Bayern for the first time in more than a decade. And the reason for such a sad season was precisely their upcoming opponent. But now the Munich club is "going" in such a way that it simply demolishes opponents one after another. Bayer set the bar so high last year that they failed to keep it at the beginning of the current German championship. Here we are talking about the first defeat in the Bundesliga for the year, and about the level of play, which is not so confident compared to the last championship. Bookmakers have identified the home team as the favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.73 on their victory. The formation of Bayer as the future champion of Germany last season took a symbolic start with the match in Munich. Then Bayern won by the end of the game with a score of 2:1 and waited until the final whistle, until "brought" a penalty in their gates. The eleven-metre kick was executed accurately, the "pharmacists" scored one point, depriving two potential opponents, and went on the campaign for the championship title. Now it looks like Bayern are more likely to get that symbolic victory. The Munich club is in "fiery" form and is getting win after win, often by crushing scores. It's hard to believe, but the past three official meetings resulted in a total of twenty goals for Bayern. Six of them came against Holstein in Kiel, five against Werder Bremen, and nine in the Champions League home meeting with Dinamo Zagreb. While the Munich club is crushing opponent after opponent, Bayer is struggling to snatch their wins. For example, the winning result in the meetings with Borussia Gladbach and Wolfsburg was achieved on 90+11 and 90+3 minutes respectively, and the home game with Leipzig was lost by the Pharmacists (2:3) after the champion won the first half 2-0. In general, there are a lot of questions about Bayer's playing form right now. In turn, there is no doubting Bayern's abilities on the field of their home stadium.
