Leverkusen vs Bayern: Preview, free tip and statistics

16.10.2021 06:00

The eighth round of Germany's top competition continues on Sunday with the clash of the two best teams in the table. Leverkusen will welcome Bayern Munich to their stadium.

Basic information, news and team form

Leverkusen changed manager in the summer. Dutch manager Peter Bosz was first replaced by interim German manager Hannes Wolf before Swiss Gerardo Seoane arrived from Swiss champions Bern at the end of the summer. Leverkusen's stint could not have started better for the Swiss coach. Leverkusen is in a distant second place with 16 points. They are only behind first-place Bayern thanks to a worse scoreline. Leverkusen is playing attractive attacking football under the Swiss and the proof is the 20 goals scored, which is the second-best number in the German Bundesliga. Leverkusen has only dropped points in the Bundesliga this season in a draw at Union Berlin and a dramatic 3-4 loss to Dortmund. In addition, Leverkusen is also playing in the Europa League this year, which Leverkusen have also entered brilliantly this season, managing to win twice in their opening two matches. Bayern after a bad start caught great form as they managed to win 9 times in a row in all competitions. However, this streak was unexpectedly broken by Frankfurt, who managed to beat Bayern on their home ground by 1:2 after goals from Hinteregger and Kostic. However, despite this unexpected defeat, Bayern is still first in the table and if they win their next game, they will jump 6 points clear of their unexpected opponents.
