Bayer Leverkusen Preview: An Uphill Battle for Alonso’s Men
Bayer Leverkusen, despite an impressive run under Xabi Alonso, now face a near-impossible challenge. Their 3-0 defeat in the first leg at the Allianz Arena exposed defensive vulnerabilities, leaving them with a mountain to climb in the second leg.
The biggest challenge for Leverkusen will be their attack. Missing their key playmaker Florian Wirtz due to injury, they will need standout performances from the likes of Jeremie Frimpong and Amine Adli to have any chance of troubling Bayern’s defense.
Additionally, Alonso’s squad rotation strategy has drawn criticism, with some believing his frequent changes cost them in crucial moments—most notably in last season’s Europa League final against Atalanta. He must now make tactical adjustments to keep their faint hopes alive.
Leverkusen’s Predicted Line-up (4-4-1-1):
- GK: Matej Kovar
- DEF: Arthur – Jonathan Tah – Mario Hermoso – Piero Hincapié
- MID: Jeremie Frimpong – Granit Xhaka – Exequiel Palacios – Alejandro Grimaldo
- CAM: Amine Adli
- ST: Nathan Tella
Unavailable: Florian Wirtz (Injured), Mukiele (Injured), Belocian (Injured), Terrier (Injured)
Doubtful: Tapsoba (Illness), Xhaka (Illness)
Bayern Munich Preview: One Step Closer to Glory
Bayern Munich showcased their dominance in the first leg with a resounding 3-0 victory, led by Harry Kane’s brace and a goal from Jamal Musiala. With a commanding lead, Vincent Kompany’s side heads into the second leg with full confidence.
The Bavarians, however, have injury concerns of their own. Captain and legendary goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is ruled out, meaning Sven Ulreich or Daniel Peretz will step in. Young midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović is also absent due to illness.
Despite a surprising loss to Bochum at the weekend, Bayern’s squad depth remains formidable. With Leroy Sané, Joshua Kimmich, and Leon Goretzka in midfield, they have the firepower to see off any potential comeback attempt by Leverkusen.
Bayern Munich’s Predicted Line-up (4-2-3-1):
- GK: Daniel Peretz
- DEF: Konrad Laimer – Dayot Upamecano – Kim Min-jae – Alphonso Davies
- MID: Joshua Kimmich – Leon Goretzka
- ATT: Michael Olise – Jamal Musiala – Leroy Sané
- ST: Harry Kane
Unavailable: Manuel Neuer (Injured), Aleksandar Pavlović (Illness)
Leverkusen vs FC Bayern: Match Prediction
Both Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen suffered defeats at the weekend, but the title race remains unchanged with Bayern comfortably leading the Bundesliga. The second leg presents a different challenge—Leverkusen must attack from the first whistle while ensuring they don’t concede early.
Given Bayern’s squad depth and experience in high-pressure games, they are clear favorites to advance. However, Leverkusen’s home advantage could give them a fighting chance to win on the night, even if overturning the 3-0 deficit remains highly unlikely.
Prediction: Leverkusen 2-1 Bayern Munich (Bayern advances 4-2 on aggregate)
Betting Tip: Double chance – Bayer Leverkusen to win or draw
