Bayer Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich 10/17/21 Bundesliga Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen is welcoming Bayern Munich to BayArena in a derby match of round 8 in the German Bundesliga. Leverkusen is having an amazing season, and they are scoring a ton of goals. Bayern is being their usual self, and they are also scoring a ton of goals in every competition.

At the moment, Leverkusen is in 3^rd place with 16 points, 20 scored goals, and only 7 conceded goals, and I for one am pleasantly surprised by their performance this season. Leverkusen is now on a 5-game winning streak during which they scored 14 goals while conceding only 2 goals. In the Europa League, Bayer Leverkusen has 2 wins, and they are at the top of their group. In their latest Bundesliga game against Arminia, Leverkusen was a much better team with 66% of ball possession, 7 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 4 big chances created, and 87% of the correct passes. With 2 scored goals in each half, Leverkusen has won this game 0-4. Leverkusen’s offensive versatility is impressive, and Schick is their leading goalscorer with 6 goals, while Wirtz and Diaby added 4 goals each. Wirtz has also added 4 assists. Andrich will miss this game because of the red card. Leverkusen has become one of the title contenders this season, but they will need to avoid those black holes to get during the season.

Bayern is the best team in Bundesliga, one of the best in Europe, and they were on a nice winning streak until they lost to Eintracht just before the international break. That was a game where Bayern has had 73% of ball possession, 10 shots on goal, 10 corner kicks, 4 big chances, and 87% of the correct passes. This was one of those games where you do everything right, you create chances, everyone is playing great, except you can’t score goals. Bayern has lost this match 1-2. Despite this loss, Bayern is still high in the standings, in 2^nd place with 16 points, and they can take over the top with a win here. As usual, Lewandowski is Bayern’s leading goalscorer with 7 goals, while Sane has added 4 assists. Pavard is suspended because of the red card. Bayern has also won both of their Champions League games, and they are under no pressure in that competition. Fantastic team, fantastic players, great young coach, and excellent soccer style are what makes this Bayern team so dangerous, and what makes them the biggest favorites to win the title once again.

This is one of the biggest derbies in Germany, and it will be a good one. Both teams are in excellent form, they are both scoring a ton of goals, and I expect the same here. I expect a fantastic match with back and forth soccer, and a lot of goals and chances.
