Bayer Leverkusen hosts Bayern Munich in the central match of the Bundesliga round. The hosts are sixth with 44 points, while Munich leads the table with 66 points. The teams are separated by 22 points, but Bayer is capable of challenging any opponent on the field – Leverkusen has lost only once in its last five matches, despite its defense regularly faltering.
Bayern has demonstrated phenomenal scoring, scoring 2-3 goals in almost every match. In their last five matches, Bayern have scored 19 times, but have also conceded in three of them. The favorites won the first half (3-0), but Bayer is capable of putting up a fight at home – the hosts have scored in 80% of their home matches this season. The visitors' defense isn't perfect, as evidenced by Atalanta's goal in the Champions League.
Bayer will fight back with the support of the stands, while Bayern is traditionally strong in attack. The teams are archrivals, so they won't sit back on the defensive for the entire 90 minutes.
