Bayern München vs Bayer Leverkusen: Team news
The 2024-25 Bundesliga leaders after four weeks return to Allianz Arena with a score to settle against Bayer, who ended the Bavarians' run of consecutive titles and managed to win the Bundesliga season without a single defeat. The team led by Vincent Kompany has enjoyed a big goalscoring start, with sixtreen goals scored in four Bundesliga matches and a whopping nine more in their first Champions League clash, which leaves testament of their firepower. Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala have combined to score eight goals so far, which will certainly make them the top weapons up front for Bayern against the Aspirins.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen have continued to make history under Xabi Alonso...but for the wrong reasons, as the Aspirins have become the only defending champion in the Bundesliga that has conceded at least once in their first four games of the following season. If Die Werkself wish to show why they won their first title last season, then they will need to step up their defensive efforts this time around. The team has not struggled to score goals in any of their games, giving playmaker Florian Wirtz a chance to shine along with Victor Boniface, creating a duo that has scored ten times this season across all comps. Needless to say, the team's chances of success will rely heavily on what they do on Saturday.
Unavailable players: This game will feature one team that has been hit hard by injuries and one more that enters this clash in perfect shape. Bayern will try to continue with their perfect run without the help of five players: Manuel Neuer, Josip Stanisic, Tarek Buchmann, Hiroki Ito, and Sacha Boey. On the other hand, Xabi Alonso will have a full squad to choose from for their trip to Allianz Arena.
