Bayern Munich take on the visitors Bayer Leverkusen in the round 9 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, November 1st at Allianz Arena (Munich).
Bayern appointed Vincent Kompany last summer, even though, according to reports, he wasn’t their top choice at first. Nevertheless, the Belgian achieved his main objective by confidently reclaiming the Bundesliga title after a disappointing 2023/24 campaign without trophies, when Bayern had to settle for third place. This season, Kane and company boast a flawless record so far. They started by lifting the Super Cup and quickly established a comfortable lead in the Bundesliga — including a key October win over Borussia Dortmund. In the previous round, they demolished a struggling Borussia Mönchengladbach away from home, as expected. Their Champions League campaign is also going smoothly, with consistent victories and convincing performances. In midweek, they comfortably dispatched Köln in the domestic cup to advance further. Bayern look dominant in all competitions, combining high-tempo attacking play with impressive consistency. Their confidence and form suggest they’re returning to the unstoppable rhythm of their peak years.

Bayer are trying to sort through a mountain of problems. The Werkself reached their historical peak in 2023/24, capturing their first-ever Bundesliga title without a single defeat and adding the domestic cup for a famous double. But even after keeping Xabi Alonso and most of their key players, they quickly surrendered top spot to the Bavarian giants last season. This summer, Alonso departed along with several core figures, and the appointment of Erik ten Hag turned out to be a mistake — he was dismissed by early autumn after a series of poor results. Under his successor, Kasper Hjulmand, performances have improved somewhat, though setbacks remain — including a humiliating 2-7 defeat in their latest Champions League outing. Bayer are still struggling to find balance after major changes, and their defense has looked shaky in high-pressure matches. The new system is yet to stabilize, and inconsistency continues to undermine their efforts.
Since 2023, the last six encounters between these sides alternated between Bayer wins and draws. Only in March, in the Champions League knockout stage, did Müller and company manage to defeat their domestic rivals twice in a row. At the moment, the quality gap between last season’s top two sides is clear. Kane and his teammates are in tremendous form, playing with confidence and precision. The logical bet is for Bayern to win with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win with -1.5 handicap.
