Bayer Leverkusen take on the visitors Bayern Munich at “BayArena” in the first-leg tackle of the DFB Pokal semi-finals. The match will be played in Leverkusen on Tuesday, April 17th.
Unlike the upcoming visitors, Bayer Leverkusen still have some way to go in this season’s Bundesliga. At the moment “Die Werkself” settle on the third place in the elite division standings, but two nearest matches are going to be extremely complicated for the side as it will face Borussia Dortmund on the road and Stuttgart at the home turf. And in a case of losing points in mentioned above tackles, the team may lose a pass to the UEFA Champions League for the next season. Thus, it is quite understandable that the club’s priority will become to save one of the top-four positions in the Bundesliga table, however, Bayer Leverkusen will not give up easily in the DFB Pokal, especially in face of their supporters.

In their turn, Bayern Munich have already won the Bundesliga champion’s title in this season with four rounds left till the end of the competition. Now Jupp Heynckes’s team can entirely focus on the DFB Pokal as there is still a long haul ahead of the Eurocup battle against Real Madrid while in the Bundesliga the head-coach may afford to use the reserve squad. Although the Munches will not be able to engage Arturo Vidal and Kingsley Coman in the forthcoming battle, still their central line remains remarkably solid. Everybody knows that Jupp Heynckes will retire the head-coach position after the end of this season and treble is going to be the best gift for him on behalf of the players.
The history of the sides’ head-to-heads conducted at “BayArena” cannot boast with a bulk of scored goals. Besides, taking into consideration that it will be a semi-final tackle of the DFB Pokal, the fans shouldn’t expect for an open game, at least on behalf of “Die Werkself”.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goal and the visitors to win with +0.5 Asian handicap.
