It seems the Bundesliga this season will not be a one or two horse race as in the previous seasons.After 11 weeks since the start of the season, just 4 points separates Leverkusen, the surprise leaders and fifth positioned Wolfsburg.And coming up this weekend is a very interesting clash between the top 2.
Bayer Leverkusen
After a commanding 4-1 win against hoffenheim last weekend that saw them clinch top of the table,the Eternal Bridesmaids as they are nicknamed in Germany have some very convincing statistics with the second best defence in the league and they are ready to let Bayern know it’s not a rollercoaster ride season for them.
Bayern Munich
Over the course of their previous 6 clashes, Bayern Munich have amassed a tally of 13 goals. Bayern have also managed to score in every single one of those games. During those fixtures, their defenders have seen 7 goals scored by their opponents. We will see whether or not that trend can be continued into this next match.
Head to Head
Looking at their past 6 meetings Bayern won 4 and Leverkusen 2.But the interesting fact in this fixture is the number of goals scored by both teams,31 goals in 6 matches that’s 5.17 goals per match.
Prediction
We think given the attacking strengths of both of these teams they will both score in this match and looking at the history between them, it will be an entertaining one with fans cheering for goals at both ends.
Both teams to score
Over 2.5 goals
