Team News

Bayern
- Key forward and 1860 Munich star Kevin Volland is nearing a return from an ankle injury.
- Jonathan Tah has been suffering from a bad back and will be assessed nearer the game.
- Edmond Tapsoba has also caught the eye in defence since arriving from Vitoria Guimaraes.
- Skipper Lars Bender is missing with a foot injury.
- Florian Wirtz, the third youngest player in the history of the Bundesliga, has impressed in his initial forays.
- Paulinho impressed before the Coronavirus crisis, while Charles Aránguiz has just extended his contract. Julian Baumgartlinger has overcome a knee problem, while Kerem Demirbay has been in good form too.
- Leon Bailey and Wendell are also contenders for a starting berth.
- Robert Lewandowski, with 29 goals in 27 games, is hunting Gerd Müller's all-time Bundesliga scoring record of 40 goals almost 50 years ago.
- Jérôme Boateng is struggling with a hip injury, while Lucas Hernández has problems with his adductors.
- Thiago is nearing a return to the squad after overcoming adductor problems.
- Manuel Neuer will play in goal having extended his contract until 2023.
- Philippe Coutinho and Corentin Tolisso have both had ankle operations and are ruled out. The Brazilian is the likeliest to return before the season is done and dusted.
- Teenage striker Jann-Fiete Arp has recovered from an arm injury but will play for the reserves in the 3rd division, while Niklas Süle is back in light training again after suffering an ACL tear and remains hopeful of playing again this season.
Florian Wirtz had a dribble before he scored. It should reflect in the stats.
Very good game by Leverkusen, Great first goal and great formation by the coach, but when your 2 key player are injured its hared to win.
@0831229220 It was a terrible game by Leverkusen and specifically by Bosz. As his trademark move he let the defence play really high so that Bayern could score 4 goals with ease by just counterattack with a long ball ...
Lewandowski to have Over 1.5 Shots On Target @ 5/4
why Tah and kai not playing ?
@0831229220 Injured
Bayer Leverkusen +1.5
Away Win.
@lopetegui Obviously ...
2-5 :)
a good side versus an exceptional side . away win , but too short to bet on .
