Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Match Preview

When Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen face off in the Bundesliga derby, expect sparks to fly.

The Bavarians are determined to maintain their perfect record in the 2023/2024 season, but Friday’s match won’t be a cakewalk for the reigning champions.

Despite scoring the winning goal against Borussia M’gladbach, the talented French forward Mathys Tel is likely to start on the bench once again. Meanwhile, key players such as Jamal Musiala, Manuel Neuer, Raphael Guerreiro, and Gabriel Marusic remain sidelined due to injuries.

Bayer Leverkusen has also had a strong start to the season, defeating teams like Leipzig, Borussia M’gladbach, and Darmstadt in their first three league fixtures. However, facing the titleholders will be a much greater challenge.

Considering both teams’ scoring prowess early in the season, the option of over 2.5 goals should be seriously considered for betting.

Amine Adli is unavailable for the visitors, and Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Piero Hincapie, and Patrik Schick are sidelined due to injuries.
