Leverkusen come into the weekend after going two without loss against Bayern. The previous meeting between the sides this term ended in a 2-2 draw. However, Leverkusen haven’t avoided defeat in three straight clashes with their Bavarian rivals since 2010. Interestingly, sides sitting top have failed to win in the last four attempts when they have come up against the team sitting second.
This is Leverkusen’s best ever start to a Bundesliga season, while only two previous sides have eclipsed their tally of 52 points after 20 rounds of matches. Furthermore, Leverkusen are only the fourth team in Bundesliga history to have avoided defeat in their opening 20 matches of a season.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Prediction
This is a pivotal weekend in the race for the Bundesliga title, and strong cases can be made for both sides at BayArena. However, from a value angle, it is rare to get Bayern at such a big price on the moneyline, and that is the most tempting betting selection on Saturday.
