Game Preview
Bayern is on its way to reclaiming the Bundesliga title, but it wants to go all the way in the Champions League as well. The Bavarians are in good form, having not lost in their previous nine appearances (7W, 2D).
The efficiency of their matches at the Allianz Arena is very high, and during the above-mentioned invincible streak, seven games saw over 3.5 goals.
Leverkusen hadn’t lost in the latest eight outings, posting 5 wins and three ties. Xavi Alonso’s crew allowed only one goal over the previous 360 minutes of play, showing incredible resilience in the back line.
However, their attack failed to score on two occasions throughout this stretch. They have been a bit more unstable when it comes to scoring this year compared to the previous one.

Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen Predictions
Kompany is careful when playing against Leverkusen, and all three games this year have seen low efficiency. Alonso knows that he has 90 minutes at home, which is why he, too, won’t be keen on attacking right away. That’s why we pick a moderate efficiency for Wednesday’s contest, 2 or 3 goals.
