Match Preview
Hjulmand has some tough decisions to make with a 3-4-2-1 system that relies heavily on wing-back production. Losing the suspended Grimaldo takes away 6 goals and 0.3 goals per 90 minutes. Still, the coach hopes the home crowd can push them to a fourth straight unbeaten match.
Blaswich will be busy in goal, especially with Loïc Badé missing the match due to a thigh injury. This puts more pressure on Andrich and Tapsoba to hold the line against Kane. In the attack, Christian Kofane is expected to lead the line with 5 goals scored.
Leverkusen scores 2.08 goals per home match and wins 6 corners on average. They play a clean game, committing only 8.83 fouls per match. Even so, the absences of five first team players might force them to be more cautious against the relentless Bavarian offensive pressure.
Vincent Kompany brings his 4-2-3-1 machine to Leverkusen with a massive lead at the top. They have scored 40 goals away from home this season already. Even with Ulreich replacing the injured Neuer, their tactical dominance usually keeps opponents far away from their own penalty area.
Harry Kane is the obvious focal point with 30 goals. He averages 1.39 goals per 90 minutes and 8.42 shots on target. Luis Díaz has 14 goals but might start on the bench. Missing nine players is a lot, but their bench is deeper than anyone else.
Defensively, Bayern is superb on the road, conceding only 0.92 goals. They dominate possession and win 5.5 corners per game. The squad seems unstoppable right now, having won 21 out of 25 league games. Analyzing the Bundesliga Stats suggests they should continue their historical winning run.
Bayern Munich faces several injury concerns ahead of their high-stakes clash with Leverkusen. Manager Vincent Kompany confirmed Sven Ulreich will start in goal, replacing the injured Jonas Urbig and Manuel Neuer. While Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala remain sidelined, a late decision will be made regarding Harry Kane’s fitness. However, the return of Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich provides a timely boost for the league leaders.

Prediction
Over 9.5 Shots on Target @1.73
Both teams possess high quality attacking units that prioritize shooting from various positions. Leverkusen averages 5.5 shots on target at home, while Bayern is even more aggressive with 8.42 on their travels. This combined offensive output suggests that reaching at least 10 shots on target is very likely. Both managers encourage an open style of play, which creates numerous opportunities for testing the goalkeepers.
Statistical data shows a season average of 13.92 shots on target between these two giants. Bayern Munich alone has managed over 7.5 shots on target in 92% of their away fixtures. Since Leverkusen has scored in every home game this year, they will certainly contribute to the tally. Expect a fast-paced game where both keepers will be forced into making several saves.
