Bayern Munich Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals
Bayern Munich have won three of their seven matches in the Bundesliga this season and one of their three home games making them 33% favorites to win this game. Leverkusen have one win in their seven games. In the goals stats, there is a 67% possibility for this game to produce under three goals after five of the seven games of both teams ended with the same number of goals.
Bayer Leverkusen +2.5 Goals Handicap
In the last nine h2h meetings, Bayer Leverkusen lost only once by more than a three-goal margin and covered the suggested handicap in the remaining eight games. Since the start of the season, Leverkusen managed to beat the +2.5 handicap in six games out of seven in the Bundesliga.
Correct Score 2-1
Bayern Munich are averaging 2.71 goals scored per game in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen’s average goals scored per game meanwhile is 1.00 when playing on the road. Based on these statistics, we find the 2-1 correct score the most probable outcome for Friday’s game.

Bayern Munich
After a three-match winning start, Bayern Munich’s form have deteriorated, and are looking for their first win in their last four outings. In fact, this is the Bavarians’ worst result after seven rounds since the 2010/2011 season. Moreover, Bayern have scored five goals fewer than the last term despite a rocket start netting 15 in the first three games.
It has been the offense that’s been suffering in the last four games with Jurgen Nagelsmann’s team scoring five times. Comparing their first three games, Bayern averaged 5.00 goals per game and in the next four 1.25. In addition after picking up nine points in the first three rounds, the Reds grabbed 0.75 points per game in the previous four.
A congested schedule could be to blame for this loss of form, in addition, the World Cup will start in November and all players would like to be fit without injuries and thus may be cautious. In any case, we think Nagelsmann can return his team to the victory path with all the stars available on his team.
Bayer Leverkusen
As opposed to their hosts, Bayer Leverkusen started their season with three defeats. It was only in the fourth round that the Black and Reds grabbed their first three points of the season but couldn’t build on it. In their last three games, Leverkusen suffered another defeat but managed to avoid it in their previous two games.
Overall there is a considerable improvement in Leverkusen’s performances as the season unfolded. To illustrate, after picking up zero points in their first three points, Leverkusen grabbed on average 1.25 points in the next four. Additionally, their 0.6 goals per game in the first three rounds improved to 2.00 strikes per game in the last four rounds.
Bayer Leverkusen finished third last season and are considered one of the best teams in the Bundesliga with five titles. Their current 15th position is definitely not the reflection of their true level and we expect them to climb the table.
After a four-match winless run, we predict Bayern Munich to find their winning appetite after the international break. Jurgen Nagelsmann surely had time to reflect with his assistants on his team’s weaknesses and worked on them. We will back a home win or draw combined with under 3.5 goals.
Bayern Munich are having difficulties in scoring in recent matches. To illustrate, the Bavarians were on target five times in their last four fixtures and have scored two or fewer goals in five of their seven league games. Leverkusen let in over three or more goals only twice this season. Hence with odds of 1.56 at 22Bet, we will back Bayern Munich to score under three goals.
A draw has a 50% possibility according to the form statistics of both teams as opposed to each team’s 33% chance of winning. Bayern drew three of their last four games and Leverkusen their last two. A draw has odds of 6.00 at 22Bet and we will choose it as our quick rich option for this match.
Sadio Mane joined Bayern Munich at the start of this season after a very successful six-year spell at Liverpool. The Senegalese international is known for his great scoring skills speed and dribbling. He is the author of three goals in Bundesliga in seven games and we predict for Mane to be on the scoresheet anytime in this game.
