Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Prediction: A top-of-the-table game to be played with passion

The most anticipated fixture of week 21 of the Bundesliga is to be played on Saturday 10th February 2024 at the BayArena. This highly anticipated Bundesliga game is between top-seeded teams, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, who are currently undefeated. After 20 games, two clubs in the Bundesliga have amassed 50 points for the first time in history, with Leverkusen (52) and Bayern trailing Bayern (50) by just two points in second place.

Under Xabi Alonso, Bayer Leverkusen has been an unbelievable force, carving out a piece of Bundesliga history for themselves this season. The hosts will need to prepare for what is likely to be the most significant game of their season after holding Bayern Munich at bay thus far in the championship fight.

Although Bayern Munich has performed its share this season, they have not kept up with one of the top clubs in Europe in the domestic standings. This weekend, both sides have the potential to be deadly on their best days and end in a thrilling tie.

With 14 games left, Bayer Leverkusen leads second-place Bayern München by two points at the top of the league. Leverkusen defeated Darmstadt 98 2-0 at the Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor in their most recent Bundesliga game, extending their winning streak to 20 games. 

After ten games at BayArena, host Leverkusen had eight victories and two draws in their home Bundesliga campaign. Leverkusen is hoping to continue its 11-game home undefeated streak which dates back to May 2023.

Bayern Munich has been in strong form both home and away. They achieved wins in the league against Stuttgart, Wolfsburg, Union Berlin, and Augsburg. However, Bayern suffered a surprise loss against Werder Bremen on home turf. In their most recent Bundesliga game, Bayern München won their third straight game at home, defeating Borussia M'gladbach 3-1.

Despite the occasional surprising setback, Bayern Munich has demonstrated robust attacking capabilities and generally solid defence. The team will have to overcome the psychological effect of the loss against Werder Bremen to gain full momentum in this fixture. 

We are going to have to see a genuine fight in the top-of-the-table fixture every inch of the ball fought for. The contest would be extremely passionate from the start of the whistle to the end. Due to the nature of the game, do not be surprised to see at least one penalty in this contest. For this match, we are going for a strange betting option due to the nature of the heated game to be expected. We are going with a total of over 3.5 yellow cards.
