In the central match of the fifth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich will face Bayer Leverkusen. Here’s an expert prediction for this significant event, compiled by the specialists at Sportsmacro.
Bayern
The Bavarians have had a strong start to the season, winning all six matches across all competitions. It’s no surprise that Vincent Kompany’s side has taken the lead in the championship.
In their last outing, Bayern delivered a resounding 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen away from home. Harry Kane has been in fine form, contributing 5 goals and 4 assists. Bayern aims to reclaim dominance in Germany after a trophyless season last year. While six players are sidelined due to injury, these losses are not deemed significant.
Bayer
Repeating last season’s success will be incredibly challenging, but Bayer is determined to maintain their performance. They have recorded 3 wins in their four Bundesliga matches, with a single loss at home, where they led 2-0 before ultimately falling 2-3.
