Bayern Munich take on the visitors Bayer Leverkusen in the round 5 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, September 28th at Allianz Arena (Munich).
Bayern claimed another Bundesliga title in 2023, largely thanks to Borussia Dortmund slipping up in their final match, drawing with Mainz at home. It seemed like Bayern got the message and tried to strengthen their squad, even breaking the bank with a record transfer of over €100 million for Harry Kane. Kane immediately started scoring and providing assists, but it felt like he was still stuck at Tottenham, as Bayern failed to win a single trophy in the 2023/2024 season! Naturally, the "record champions" changed their coach again and surprisingly appointed Vincent Kompany, who had just been relegated from the Premier League with Burnley. Along with him, Olise and Palhinha arrived from England. However, the transfer of Ta fell through, while Bayern sold Mazraoui and De Ligt in bulk to Manchester United. So far, Kompany has a perfect record in his new role: thrashing Ulm in the cup, Dynamo Zagreb in the Champions League (a unique 9-2), and winning four Bundesliga matches with a total score of 16-3.

Bayer will try to stay on top. Despite their reputation as an underachiever, the "Pharmacists" have had some success in the past. But last season was undoubtedly the best in their history. It brought them their first Bundesliga title, followed by the DFB-Pokal, all without a single defeat! The only blemish was a loss to Atalanta in the Europa League—a classic spoiling of an otherwise perfect record. Over the summer, Bayer retained Xabi Alonso and his coaching staff, as well as most of their squad, apart from the sales of Hložek and Azmoun. Ta’s transfer was also canceled, though they brought in Aleix Garcia, Terje, and loaned Mukiele. Nevertheless, the team faced some issues. In the Super Cup, they managed to equalize against Stuttgart in the 88th minute and won on penalties. But in the second round of the Bundesliga, they lost 2-3 at home to RB Leipzig. Still, they won their other matches and demolished Feyenoord 4-0 in Rotterdam in the Champions League. Against Wolfsburg, they scored four as well but conceded three.
The "Pharmacists" have won two of their last three encounters with Bayern, drawing the other one in Munich. The "record champions" are clear favorites, but their opponents remain dangerous. The recommended bet here is on "Total over 3.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 3.5 scored goals.
