Bayern Munich obliterated Atalanta with a 6-1 scoreline on Tuesday and will return to Bundesliga action for a road match against Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern has a comfortable 11-point lead over Dortmund but this current squad has shown zero desire to take a match lightly or as an afterthought. Joshua Kimmich and Michael Olise are both suspended for the second leg of the Champions League matchup and should play a full 90 minutes.
Leverkusen also played in the Champions League, conceding a late goal to
Arsenal for a 1-1 result. With a quick three-day turnaround before the second leg, Leverkusen is likely to rest key players against Bayern.
Prediction
Bayern wins 4-2. With both teams focusing on their upcoming Champions League matches, it will be a vertical game characterized by some impressive individual efforts and vicious counterattacks. Bayern’s quality will ensure a lead for the entire match but Leverkusen’s attack won’t lie down. Michael Olise and Lennart Karl will trade goals in the first half. Nicolas Jackson and Kim Min-jae will find goals in the second half to push Bayern one step closer to defending the Bundesliga crown.
