Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Tips
Bayer Leverkusen find themselves in a very difficult position after the first match against Bayern, where they suffered a painful 0-3 defeat. Now, Xabi Alonso’s side have the almost impossible task of securing a win by at least four goals to advance to the quarter-finals. However, in the current edition of the Champions League, the ‘Aspirins’ have already shown their power, achieving resounding victories on two occasions.
Incidentally, that defeat cut short Bayer’s Champions League scoring streak, which had lasted four games. However, the statistics at the ‘BayArena’ remain impressive: Leverkusen are unbeaten at home in five consecutive matches in European competition (four wins, one draw). Moreover, in eight of the last ten matches in the tournament, at least one of the teams finished without scoring.
Bayern Munich go into the second leg with a considerable advantage, which gives them confidence. Vincent Kompany’s side only need not to lose by more than two goals to secure a place in the quarter-finals. In the current edition of the Champions League, the ‘roten’ have already suffered three defeats (7 wins, 1 draw), and twice with a three-goal difference. A repeat of that scenario would lead to extra time.
It is worth mentioning that in the first match in Leverkusen, Munich managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time in six matches in the tournament. However, in Champions League away matches, the statistics are not so encouraging: Bayern have failed to win in six of the previous eight matches (1 draw, 5 defeats).
