Interestingly, both teams won three of the last nine H2H matches, with three draws. However, Bayern's three victories came in the previous three meetings, including a 3-0 in the only encounter this season. Also, it is worth noting that Bayer Leverkusen didn't score in the previous four H2H games.
Bayer Leverkusen team overview
The last two seasons were among the best of the 21st century for Bayer Leverkusen. They are not at that level, but Kasper Hjulmand's team could still sneak into the top four in the Bundesliga and secure another Champions League appearance. Bayer Leverkusen are far from their best form, having won only one of their previous six matches. In the most recent outing, Bayer played 1-1 at home against Arsenal. The hosts were close to victory, but the visitors scored late in the second half and avoided defeat.
Bayer Leverkusen didn't win against Arsenal, but head coach Kasper Hjulmand was very satisfied. He said, "I have mixed emotions. We played well and didn't concede many chances. We were active and played well with the ball. It was a top performance against a top team. Of course, it's very frustrating that we only drew 1-1, but travelling to London with high hopes."
Bayer Leverkusen have problems with missing players. They will be without Alex Grimaldo, Arthur, Loic Bade, Eliesse Ben Seghir, Mark Flekken, Lucas, and Nathan Tella on Saturday afternoon.

Bayern Munich are on course to win another Bundesliga title, as they are 11 points ahead of the next team on the table, Borussia Dortmund. Also, Bayern Munich are in outstanding form with seven victories in a row. In the previous game, Vincent Kompany's team won 6-1 on the road against Atalanta. The guests dominated throughout the match and now will travel to Leverkusen with a lot of confidence.
