The visitors head into the match on a four-game unbeaten streak, recording three consecutive wins. Goals from Jeremie Frimpong and Patrik Schick helped them record a 2-1 away win over Union Berlin in the Bundesliga last week.

Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

Die Bayern have enjoyed a good run of form, winning seven of their last eight games while conceding just twice. They are on a five-game winning streak at home and are strong favorites.

Harry Kane limped off with an injury in the first half against Dortmund and is a key absentee here. Serge Gnabry trained with the squad after missing the game against Dortmund and might start from the bench.

Die Werkself are unbeaten in their last four games, scoring 13 goals while conceding four times. Interestingly, they have won just one of their last six away games and played out a 1-1 away draw against Bayern in the Bundesliga in September.

Victor Boniface is not yet ready to return, so Patrik Schick will start here. Xabi Alonso will be able to count on the services of Jeanuël Belocian and Martin Terrier.

While both teams have been in good touch recently, Bayern have an impressive home record this season and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
