Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen form
Except for Bayern Munich fans, everyone else across Germany is probably hoping for a seismic event at the Allianz Arena this weekend. Otherwise, the 2025/26 Bundesliga season won't have much to offer, at least in the race for the Silver Plate.
After Borussia Dortmund lost in Der Klassiker (German Super Classic), the only remaining domestic face that can stop the mighty Bayern is now Bayer Leverkusen. Last season, it was the victorious army from BayArena that successfully dethroned the Bavarian king to reach the pinnacle of fame.
Despite a significant decline before and after the departure of "architect" Xabi Alonso, the Leverkusen team is still expected to do something positive in Munich. After 8 rounds, the away team has only lost 1, drawn 2 and won 5, standing in 5th place on the table, 7 points behind the top position held by Bayern Munich.
Bayer Leverkusen have been unbeaten in their last six domestic encounters with Bayern, recording three wins and three draws. However, in both of their Champions League last-16 encounters with the Bavarian giants last season, Leverkusen were on the losing side, losing 0-3 and 0-2 respectively.
At the most prestigious European playground this season, the home team BayArena is not in good form in the qualifying round, having only earned 2 points after 3 matches. Notably, in the most recent trip to Paris, the team under the direction of coach Kasper Hjulmand was defeated 2-7.
Grimaldo and his teammates have truly experienced the feeling of playing away at a real giant. And this weekend, they will have to face a similar challenge, even more terrifying.
Compared to PSG or other giants in the top 5 European leagues, Bayern Munich has had a much more impressive start to the 2025/26 season. The past 14 appearances have all witnessed the mighty army under coach Vincent Kompany triumph.
Not only are they unrivaled in the domestic arena, Bayern have also been consistently winning in the Champions League qualifying round. These statistics will surely make any opponent weak in the knees when they travel to the Allianz Arena at the moment.
After 6 home games since the beginning of the season, Bayern have won all of them, scoring 24 goals while only conceding 2. Perhaps, the German champions will disappoint fans who love the exciting Bundesliga championship race.
