Bayer Leverkusen – Bayern Munich : Preview & Prediction
A huge match awaits us this Saturday afternoon in Germany! While there are other great fixtures in Spain (Real Madrid vs Girona) and France (PSG vs LOSC), German soccer fans will have their eyes firmly fixed on Leverkusen and the BayArena. Current Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen host second-placed and reigning champions Bayern Munich. For this clash, tune in to beIN Sports from 6.30pm for a match of madness with Jean-Charles Sabattier on commentary. It’s a real title decider, with the Munich side capable of regaining first place if they win, and the home side capable of extending their lead (5 points) if they win. It promises to be a wild and exciting encounter!
Bayer Leverkusen are probably the most in-form club in the world these days. Indeed, Xabi Alonso’s men have simply not lost a single official match this season, out of 30 games played. A veritable marathon, given that the German club is playing on three different stages, including the European Cup and the German Cup. As far as the latter is concerned, Leverkusen just qualified for the semi-finals on Tuesday evening by overcoming Stuttgart (3-2), currently third in the league, after twice coming from behind! The strength of character that surrounds the Spanish coach’s players this season speaks for itself. The latter has brought his own touch to this team, with forward-thinking players, utra-attacking pistons and players constantly on the move between the lines. Prior to this Cup match, Leverkusen had recovered well from the winter break, winning 0-1 at Augsburg and 2-3 at Leipzig, 0-0 against Monchengladbach and then winning 0-2 at Darmstadt. Olympic form.
Opposite them, Bayern Munich are also in fine form, with 4 wins from their 5 games since the return from the winter break. The only hiccup was a 0-1 home defeat by Werder Bremen on January 21. Otherwise, the Munich outfit beat Hoffenheim 3-0 just before that defeat, then Union Berlin (1-0), Augsburg (2-3) and Borussia Monchengladbach (3-1) last weekend. While Bayern usually seem to be flying high in this championship, this season has been a little less so, with results looking more sluggish. However, you should never underestimate this team, which has some excellent players and the qualities to beat anyone. A 4th win in a row and 3 points to leave Leverkusen with the Bundesliga lead would also be a good idea before travelling to Rome to face Lazio in the Champions League…
