Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips

Bayer Leverkusen’s 3-0 win over Hannover on Saturday got them back to winning ways after the winter break and kept them well in the running for a Champions League qualification position.

They had previously played out a draw at Hoffenheim in their first game of 2016, ending the three match winning streak that they were enjoying before the break.

Overall though, Bayer Leverkusen’s form record reads well. They have won four and draw one of their last five competitive matches and haven’t lost any of their last six matches, including a draw against Barcelona.

This puts them in 4^th position in the Bundesliga table with 31 points from their opening 19 matches. They are three points adrift of Hertha Berlin in 3^rd position and one point clear of Schalke below them.

Bayern Munich are, as usual, leading the table. They possess an eight point cushion over 2^nd placed Borussia Dortmund and have picked up 21 more points than their opponents on Saturday.

Considering they have only dropped five points in the Bundesliga so far, it seems unlikely that they will relinquish an eight point lead in the table. It looks like Pep Guardiola will be leaving Munich with another title to add to his CV.

Bayern Munich’s 2-0 win over Hoffenheim on Sunday made it six wins on the trot for the team, and they have managed to limit the oppositions goals to a grand total of one throughout this period.

Throughout the season Bayern Munich have only conceded 9 goals in the Bundesliga, and three of those came in one match as they fell to their only league defeat of the season against Borussia Monchengladbach.

Bayer Leverkusen are by no means a bad side, and they actually won this fixture at the end of last season. However, with Bayern Munich performing excellently in defence I think odds of 1/1 for Both Teams to Score: No are very good value. I’m backing Bayern to win as well, with a 2-0 correct score prediction coming in at 7/1.
