Our prediction for the match Bayern vs Bayer
Both clubs play in Germany. Moreover, the Bundesliga club from Leverkusen turned out to be stronger last season – it took its first “silver salad bowl” and then added the cup trophy. And the main favourite from Munich did not take any titles at all, and ended up in the national championship in 3rd position. Being under the leadership of Kompany, in the new season, Kane and the company were able to regain the lead, ahead of the current trophy holder. At the same time, the team lost to this opponent in the German Cup, moreover, that happened on the native field.
Speaking about the Champions League, there are also complaints about Vincent. His team lost 3 times in the main round (it is also reasonable to mention that Barcelona and Feyenoord defeated the team in a devastating way). As for the playoffs, the club, after a minimal victory in Glasgow, lost at the home arena to Celtic, equalizing only in the 90th+ minute of the confrontation. Having returned to the main European tournament, Xabi Alonso’s footballers won 5 matches (including all home ones) and got 16 points, which was enough to reach the 1/8 finals directly.
Kane and the company manage to score 2.3 goals, but they also concede quite a lot – 1.4. The guests are noticeably more pragmatic, Hradecky concedes 0.88 goals on average in the tournament. Still, his field mates score exactly 1 goal more.
