Match Prediction: Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen
This fixture features two of the most prolific teams in the current Bundesliga season, having scored a combined 48 goals. Additionally, Bayern is highly effective in attack at home, maintaining a 24-match scoring streak in the Bundesliga. In 19 of their last home league matches, the Munich side has scored at least twice.
Bayer Leverkusen performs confidently away, largely due to their aggressive forward play. The team is unbeaten in their last 37 away Bundesliga matches and has only failed to score once in that span. However, defensively, they are not always solid, conceding 12 goals in their last six away league games.
In 7 of the last 9 head-to-head encounters at Bayern's home ground in the Bundesliga, both teams have found the net. I anticipate another high-scoring match between these opponents, and my prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
