Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Preview
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich, the uncrowned kings of German football, will take on Bayer Leverkusen in this round of sixteen games in the DFB Pokal at home on Tuesday. The home team have a massive advantage in this game, given that they have won 12 out of the 27 games played against Leverkusen.
Although the latter are in a good vein of form, Bayern should have the upper hand. They are also unbeaten in their last five matches, and have excellent form going their way.

New manager Vincent Kompany has introduced his own stamp on the team, and made them go back to playing their fearless brand of football.
Kompany likes Bayern to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, and it will be interesting to see how they choose to base their attacks in this game, either via long balls or short passes. Bayern beat Mainz 05 4-0 in their previous game in this competition.
Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen stunned everyone in European football with their Bundesliga title win last season. Now, head coach Xabi Alonso must ensure that the team continues in the same way this season.
They come into this match by beating Elversberg in their previous encounter in the DFB Pokal 3-0. This game against Bayern away from home will test his team’s resolve, but Alonso has made sure that his players no longer get scared of playing against big opponents in their den.

Leverkusen also like to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, and it will be crucial for their wingers Grimaldo and Frimpong, on whom Alonso relies so much, to carve out spaces for themselves.
Hincapie and Mukiele, Leverkusen’s highly rated fullbacks, will have the onerous task of running up and down the flanks providing service to their attackers and even changing the line of offence if their opponents seem watertight in their defence.
Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
- Pick: Bayern Munich to win.
- Odds: –132 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Bayern Munich 2-0 Bayer Leverkusen
Bayern Munich have a massive advantage in this game, and we expect them to win it comfortably.

Although the likes of Kane, Serge Gnabry and João Palhinha, among others have been ruled out with injuries, Bayern have enough reserves in their ranks to make sure that their absence does not get felt.
Leverkusen will have to play with an extremely tight defence in order to prevent Bayern from running amok with goals.
Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 1.5 goals
- Odds: -526 (20Bet)
We expect a total of over 1.5 goals to be scored in this match. Bayern have scored at least once in all of their last five encounters, and the same run ought to continue here as well.
While Leverkusen are in decent form, having won three out of their last five matches, they might not be able to prevent the Bayern juggernaut from running riot.
Bayern have a special advantage while playing at home, and along with them winning this game comfortably, we expect a total of over 1.5 goals. Had striker Harry Kane been present, the odds of total goals might have been higher.
