Bayern Munich – Bayer Leverkusen – The individual quality of the teams and the fact that playing in the Champions League, this is the derby of the round, although it is on the table situation is a little different. Even Bayern is not the leading position at which the expected and it was until the last round, while Leverkusen big disappointment and they are mid-table with five victories and defeats, so you have eight points less than its host and European training position are also quite far. In the Champions League they both ensure the next round, but during the week remained without victory on tour in Russia, and therefore continue to go only to the second position, and it is particularly disappointing for the Bavarians. In the past the primary round, both teams were defeated, and in mutual clashes, Bayern usually wins in Munich, while in Leverkusen, Bayer successful in recent years.
Bayern Munich
This is not the first crisis for Bayern this season, but somehow she could first and accept, while the latter already expensive costs. In the Bundesliga they have lost the top spot on the table, and at one point seemed to be more and by the end of the first part of the season to resolve any doubts about the defense titles. Now the situation is completely different, not only because it fell to second place and jump over them to Leipzig, but more because they are objectively the most serious rival Borussia Dortmund came to only three points behind. It is from this team were defeated in the last round and it was the first lost games in the league this season, and the first in which they failed to score.
I can now only remember that they had a lot of good opportunities, because the points lost after domestic draw with Hoffenheim, this is the second related blunder. I did not stop there, but on Wednesday typed another defeat, this time in the Champions League, where they beat Rostov with 3: 2. Apparently it’s not too expensive defeat, because it secured a place in the next round, but remained without being able to win first place in the group, which will bring them more serious rival in the eighth finals. The band expected was little changed, which of course can not be justified, but still hurt and stopper J.BOATENG, why not play this game. They return to Robben and Vidal and likely to start on the bench.
Probable lineups Bayern: Neuer – Lahm, J.Martinez, Hummels, Alaba – Xabi Alonso – Kimmich, Alcantara (Vidal) – T.MULLER, Ribery – Lewandowski
Bayer Leverkusen
For Bayer, we can say that from the beginning of the season in a crisis and in particular it relates to the championship, which could not manage to tie a few good matches and therefore are only in the middle of the table. They are quite unpredictable and so after a win over Wolfsburg and Darmstadt, loss of Leipzig at home, although they twice led. After the win over Mainz and Borussia Dortmund earlier this season, established links with defeats by Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim. Even at home are no longer so sure as the previous season but it turns out that the Champions League and the brightest point in five games have not lost any, but that again is not enough for first place in the group, as many as four times and drew only one won.
This triumph in London against Tottenham proved to be decisive in the final round and can play quietly, and that means that they can be a little more committed to the Bundesliga. Unfortunately for them, hosting the Munich comes just at the right time, although coach Schmidt can not because of the injury count only on Bellarabija. They stayed on the field goes composition very similar to that in Moscow played 1: 1 with CSKA during the week, with the return of Wendell on the left flank.
Probable lineups Bayer Leverkusen: Leno – Henrichs, Tah, Toprak, Wendell – Kampl, Aranguiz – Brandt Calhanoglu – Chicharito, Volland
