Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Prediction: Bayern to maintain the lead

Bayer Leverkusen are in very fine form at the moment and they were the better side in their 2-0 win against Ferencvaros in the Europa League knockout stage second leg. They won both legs and are now in the Quarter Finals. Now they face the ultimate test from the league leaders Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich have been doing excellent themselves in every competition so far. They progressed to the Champions league after beating PSG on both legs and then they won the 8 goal thriller against Augsburg last weekend. But they are aware of the threat posed by the opponent. Who will come out on top between the two teams?

Bayer Leverkusen are playing with a lot of confidence recently and their record shows that. They progressed to the Europa quarter finals after beating Ferencvaros 2-0 in both legs in the knockout stage. Moussa Diaby and Amine Adii were both on target, scoring in the 3rd and 81st minute respectively. In their last 5 matches, they recorded 4 wins and 1 draw.

Bayern Munich are currently in very fine form, but they have every reason to worry about Bayer Leverkusen in this match, considering the fact that they are only 2 points ahead of 2nd spot Borussia Dortmund. Bayern Munich once again lived up to expectations after they outclassed PSG to advance in the UEFA Champions League. Their last match ended in a 5-3 win against Augsburg on their home soil. Joao Cancelo, Benjamin Pavard and Leroy Sane all scored in the first half, before Irvin Cardona scored the 5th goal in the 93rd minute.

In their last 5 matches, they recorded 4 wins and 1 loss.

Bayern Munich need no introduction and their credentials speak for them. They handle such pressure very well and I expect them to do so against Leverkusen. I believe Leverkusen have what it takes to push Munich, but not enough to win.
