Bundesliga Preview: A Clash of Titans! Bayern Munich’s Recent Goal-Fest and Bayer Leverkusen’s Away Winning Streak

On September 29 at 0:30 AM, the fifth round of the Bundesliga features a blockbuster match with leaders Bayern Munich hosting defending champions Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena.

Last season, under Alonso’s leadership, Bayer Leverkusen made a stunning impact, going unbeaten throughout the league campaign with 28 wins and 6 draws in 34 matches, clinching their first-ever Bundesliga title with 90 points. Notably, Bayer Leverkusen is the first team since Arsenal in the 03/04 season to win the league without a loss.

In addition to winning the German Cup, Bayer Leverkusen also reached the Europa League final but fell short of achieving a treble after losing 0-3 to Atalanta. This summer, they signed new players like Garcia, Triaire, and Belluxian, while releasing surplus players like Hložek and Azmoun, bringing the team’s value to 620 million euros.

This season so far, Bayer Leverkusen has played seven games, winning six and losing one, successfully claiming the German Super Cup from Stuttgart, completing their domestic trophy collection. However, their defeat against RB Leipzig in the second round ended their unbeaten streak of 35 matches across seasons, falling short of Barcelona’s 43-game unbeaten run, Arsenal’s 49-game unbeaten streak across seasons, and AC Milan’s 58-game unbeaten record.

Bayern Munich changed managers this summer and brought in three new signings: Palhinha, Olis, and Ito Yuki. Despite initial skepticism from fans about Kompany’s prospects, the Bavarians have been in scintillating form, winning all four Bundesliga matches this season, as well as securing victories in the German Cup and Champions League, making it six straight wins in official competition.

In their last three games, Bayern Munich has scored heavily, including a 6-1 away victory over Kiel, a 9-2 demolition of Dinamo Zagreb at home in the first round of the Champions League, and a 5-0 thrashing of Werder Bremen at the Weserstadion, where the opponents failed to register even a single shot on goal. Over these three matches, Bayern Munich has scored 20 goals and conceded only three, showcasing the power of Kompany’s philosophy.

Bayern Munich is undoubtedly a formidable force at home, winning their last five home games and scoring 20 goals while conceding just two, keeping clean sheets in four of those matches. Bayer Leverkusen also boasts impressive away form, having won all three of their away games this season, including a 4-1 Bundesliga victory over Hoffenheim and a 4-0 away win against Feyenoord in the first round of the Champions League.

In the last ten meetings between the two teams, Bayern Munich has six wins, two draws, and two losses, holding a clear advantage. However, in the last three encounters, Bayer Leverkusen has remained unbeaten with two wins and one draw, including a 2-2 draw away to Bayern Munich last season and a 3-0 victory at home.

One team is a stable reigning champion, while the other is a superpower under a new manager with an explosive offense. Who will emerge victorious? We’ll have to wait and see.
