A real buzz is expected at Allianz Arena on Saturday afternoon as the top two Bundesliga sides, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, clash in the derby of the season. This highly anticipated match promises excitement and goals.
Bayern Munich’s Perfect Record
Bayern Munich are aiming to preserve their perfect home record against the defending champions, Bayer Leverkusen. The Bavarians have been in sensational form, scoring 20 goals in their last three wins across all competitions. This impressive run includes a 9-2 thrashing of Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League opener.
Recent Performances
Their latest victory was a 5-0 demolition of Werder Bremen, where Vincent Kompany’s men dominated the match. Bremen failed to register a single attempt in the 90 minutes, showcasing Bayern’s defensive prowess.
Bayer Leverkusen’s High Spirits
Bayer Leverkusen also come into this tie on a high note. They survived a tough test against Wolfsburg last weekend, securing a 4-3 comeback victory at BayArena with a late winner from Victor Boniface. Leverkusen have been prolific in front of goal, scoring at least four goals in each of their last three victories.
Goals Galore Expected
Both Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen have been scoring for fun at the start of the season. Fans can expect a genuine thriller packed with goals on Saturday. The Bavarians have been particularly lethal in the final third, netting 20 goals in their last three wins. Leverkusen, however, have shown some defensive vulnerabilities, conceding at least a goal in three of their last four matches.
Betting Tips
Given the attacking prowess of both teams, the “Home win & Both Teams To Score” pick at odds of 2.60 seems a solid bet. Additionally, backing Harry Kane to score anytime for the hosts at 1.80 odds is a smart choice. The English forward has already netted five goals in the first four rounds of the season and scored four goals against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League opener.
