Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich » Prediction, Watch Live + Odds & Stats 19.03.2023

On Sunday afternoon, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich do battle at the BayArena, as the visitors attempt to stay ahead in the race for the Bundesliga title.

Die Werkself head into this clash after booking their place in the Europa League last 16 by dispatching Ferencvaros 2-0. The victory means that Xabi Alonso’s team has recorded four straight competitive wins while remaining six games unbeaten in six games in all competitions.

Leverkusen has been highly potent lately, as they have scored at least two goals in eight of their last nine matches in all competitions.

Bayer has also won four of their last six home games in the Bundesliga, having also scored at least two goals in seven of their previous eight matches.

Julian Nagelsmann’s team edged two points ahead of second-place arch-rivals Dortmund last time out by hammering Augsburg 5-3 in a Bavarian derby last time out. The victory was Bayern’s fourth win in all competitions while also seeing the champions score at least two goals for the fourth straight match.

Bayern has also won five of their last six matches in the Bundesliga, having scored at least two goals in all their previous six matches in the German top flight. On their travels, the Bavarians have won five of their last seven games in the Bundesliga, suffering just one defeat.

Bayer Leverkusen continues to be without Andrey Lunev and Charles Aranguiz through back and calf injuries, respectively. Bayern Munich is expected to be without Manuel Neuer, Eric Choupo-Moting and Theo Hernandez through various injuries.

These teams are two of the best attacking outfits in the Bundesliga. With that in mind, I am backing over 2.5 goals scored in this clash.
