Leverkusen has held the edge in the title race all season, but everything could change on Saturday. A win would lift Bayern to the top spot, which would be a major boost for the side’s morale and belief. Bayern couldn’t win the reserve fixture and had to settle for a 2-2 draw after giving up two leads.
The result in Munich means Leverkusen has lost only one of the last four head-to-head meetings between the teams. After going unbeaten through the first 20 league outings of the campaign, the team must feel confident of another good result against Bayern.
Bayern is one of only four teams that have managed to avoid a loss in the Bundesliga against Leverkusen this season. Xabi Alonso’s men have been rocking since the very first whistle, and the team’s all-around quality makes it difficult to stop Leverkusen.
With 52 goals scored through 20 outings, Leverkusen is one of the most prolific sides in the top five European leagues, and Alonso’s team has also been rock-solid defensively, conceding only 14 times. Impressively, Die Werkself has continued to shine even after losing top scorer Victor Boniface to a long-term injury.
Bayern has scored seven more goals than Leverkusen, but the defense has been more leaky, and it’s put the club’s 11-year title-winning streak under a real threat.
Can Harry Kane get enough support from his teammates for Bayern to start turning the tables in the Bundesliga title race with a victory on Saturday? After shooting blanks in back-to-back games, Kane has started to build another scoring streak and will try to find the back of the net for the 25th time already in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Kane scored an early opener against Leverkusen in the first meeting of the season, but it will be a massive challenge to repeat the effort this time around. Leverkusen has conceded only six goals in 10 home outings in 2023-24, shutting out the opposition in four of the last five matches played at the BayArena.
