FC Bayern Forum

Well this is going to be an interesting match. Leverkusen are only 1 point behind us and were playing away so this will be a very important match to win. Bayern better win against Leverkusen especially when I'm going to watch that match there .

Does this game still count as a test? Dont get me wrong Bayern still need to win this game but after the Man C game i think we should hold off on the whole idea of it being a real test. I just see this game and the rest to come as games Bayern need to win.

Until we get a fully fit squad, every game will be a test. Don't forget, we are still in the learning phase of Pep's system. However, Pep can tell all his critics to shut the f!ck up at this point.

2-2 or 4-0 for Bayern.

As long as Sam does not head the ball from a cross towards the touchline or Boateng is in the way, we should be fine.

I guess a 0-2 would be a good prediction for this one

He's right and I like the spirit. Im sure Hyypia is the right man for the job and Im not afraid of Leverkusen being scared, they'll be highly motivated for sure. Im pretty confident they will give you a more difficult game than City did.

But still, Bayern might be just a little bit too strong at the end.

Once again, a draw would be quite respectable and acceptable. Winning away to the big three (Dortmund, Leverkusen and Schalke) is a bonus that Bayern don't really need to count on, as long as they win all their home games and the away games against lesser teams. The three points at Schalke were a bonus, and just about compensate for the dropped points at Freiburg. So, mathematically, everything is still on course, even with a Leverkusen draw.

A convincing win, of course, would send out a very strong message.

Dortmund have a derby game against Gladbach, and will probably prove too strong for them, but derbys can throw up surprises. Realistically I am expecting a Leverkusen draw and a Dortmund win tomorrow, but it is certainly not unreasonable to hope for a Bayern win and a Dortmund draw. Moreover, Bayern will know the Dortmund result before they kick-off against Leverkusen, and if they see a possibility of going top it might fire them up even more to go all-out for a win.

Dortmund can easily draw tomorrow, I actually predcited 1-1 in one of the prediction games on other forum.

Bayern are very strong right now. I think the most probable scenario is Bayern winning and Dortmund drawing. I hope we'll keep the first place after this matchday though.

Both will end up winning I think.

A surprising statistic that I stumbled on was Leverkusen’s possession rates in recent home matches – only 44% in the 2-1 CL home win over Real Sociedad on Wednesday night and 47% in the 2-0 BL home win over Hannover last Saturday afternoon (according to Sky). They won, but they don’t seem able to clearly dominate even in home games – and Real Sociedad is way down in 13th position in the Spanish league. I would think, therefore, that Bayern have a good chance of dominating possession tomorrow, perhaps even by their usual 66%. If Bayern have improved their conversion of possession into goals, then a win is quite possible.

I predict a Subotic red card and an Arango blast from 40 yards out . Lewa will score though.
