After
suffering a 0-3 defeat against RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup, Bayern
Munich have managed to bounce back with three consecutive victories in the
league. As the “Bundesliga Giant”, they appear to have regained its
former strength. One notable addition to them is Harry Kane, who has
effectively filled the position of Robert Lewandowski. The England captain has
made appearances in the first three rounds of the Bundesliga, scoring three
goals and providing one assist. His performance has been impressive and has
contributed significantly to the team’s success. Additionally, Bayern Munich
have displayed improved defensive stability, conceding only two goals in the
first three rounds. This indicates that their defensive capabilities have also
improved to some extent.
Leverkusen
had high expectations last season, given the talent in their line-up. However,
their performance fell short of expectations until Xabi Alonso took charge.
Under his leadership, Leverkusen finally found their rhythm. This season, Leverkusen
have made a dream start, winning four consecutive matches and currently sitting
at the top of the Bundesliga standings. One notable aspect of Leverkusen’s
performance this season is their remarkable attacking power. In the four
official games played so far, they have scored an impressive total of 19 goals.
This demonstrates their ability to create scoring opportunities and convert
them effectively.
Both Bayern
Munich and Leverkusen have maintained an all winning record in the Bundesliga
so far, indicating their good form. However, when considering overall strength,
Bayern Munich have consistently been considered the stronger side compared to
Leverkusen. In their past eight meetings, Bayern Munich have achieved six wins,
one draw, and one loss, giving them a significant advantage in head-to-head
encounters. Furthermore, Bayern Munich have traditionally been formidable when
playing at home. Last season, they only suffered one home defeat in the league
and performed exceptionally well. This home advantage adds to Bayern Munich’s
strength, makes them the team to watch in this upcoming game.
