Bayer Leverkusen-Bayern Munich is a Bundesliga Week 25 match and is played on Sunday at 5:30pm: tv, formations, predictions.
Having established as always, although this time it has taken a little longer than expected, that only Borussia Dortmund can succeed in wresting the Bundesliga from Bayern Munich, Nagelsmann’s side now have to stay there at the top, as the Gialloneri are only two points behind. And without doubt, the Bavarian side are favourites against Xabi Alonso’s side.
Not only because, especially in the Champions League, the guests have shown that they can win against anyone, as they knocked out Psg without conceding a goal in the double-header, but also because Bayern have an incredible, deep, quality squad that is not afraid of anyone. Furthermore, and this is not something to be underestimated, Leverkusen were engaged in the Europa League against Ferencvaros during the week: of course, the commitment was easy because after the 2-0 first leg, Alonso’s men won with the same result in the away match, but surely the away match took away energy, not only physical but also mental.
The path in the last four outings for these two teams is practically identical: both come from four wins and both cannot afford the luxury of making mistakes, for different reasons, of course. As far as the guests are concerned, we have already told you, instead, for the hosts, a victory is needed to continue that race for the European zone that began the moment the Spaniard sat on the bench, taking a team last in the standings and bringing it now at 6 points from the sixth place, the one that would give a qualification to the next Conference.
The task is a difficult one, and we won’t get around it too much, so difficult that a host victory is certainly within the reach of a team that when it wants to prove its worth does so almost with a disarming naturalness.
Nagelsmann
The Prediction
In a match that should also ultimately yield at least one goal per team, Leverkusen have the quality to be able to strike in front, however, Bayern Munich’s victory should not be in question at all. Nagelsmann’s men will continue to soar in the standings, also taking advantage of the hosts’ possible mental and physical tiredness due to the European commitment.
