Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen: Match Prediction
The match features two of the most prolific teams in the current Bundesliga season – together, they have scored 48 goals in the competition. Additionally, Bayern Munich is highly effective at home, with a 24-match scoring streak in the Bundesliga, having scored at least twice in 19 of their last home league matches.
Bayer Leverkusen is very confident on the road, largely due to their attacking play. They have not lost in their last 37 away Bundesliga matches and have only failed to score once. However, their defense has not always been reliable, conceding 12 goals in their last six away league games.
Notably, in 7 of the last 9 meetings between these teams at Bayern's home ground in the Bundesliga, both teams have scored. I anticipate another high-scoring encounter between these opponents, and my prediction: Both teams to score – yes.
