THE PREDICTION
Bayern Munich face another big top-of-the-table clash against one of the teams looking to challenge their supremacy in German football. Bayer Leverkusen’s flying start to the season has shown no signs of slowing down, with a 4-0 win at Koln on Wednesday keeping them a point clear at the top and maintaining their unbeaten record. The Werkself also have a relatively good recent record against Bayern, winning two of the last three meetings. Munich have not been at their best lately and have had to work hard for their points, falling behind yet again in midweek before grinding out a 2-1 win over Wolfsburg. In any case, it should be an enthralling contest with plenty of goals, as Leverkusen have scored three or more in six of their last seven home matches in all competitions, while the champions are the Bundesliga’s highest scorers. Over 3.5 Goals is more than likely here.
