Bayern vs Leverkusen Betting Tips: Europe’s Top Trio to Deliver Again
Just seven points separate defending champions Bayern Munich and last season’s runners-up Bayer Leverkusen in arguably the biggest Bundesliga fixture of the season so far.
A win for Bayern would make it nine from nine, keeping their flawless run intact. A win for Leverkusen would narrow the gap and continue their impressive surge under new boss Kasper Hjulmand.
How it all plays out is for you to call – but here are three tips that could very well land this Saturday under the lights in Munich.
Tip 1 – Bayern Munich to Win & Harry Kane to Score @ 4/9
How do you stop Harry Kane right now?
The England captain leads all scorers across Europe’s top five leagues with 12 Bundesliga goals – not including the 10 he’s racked up across other competitions in Bayern colours.
The Bavarians have taken maximum points from their opening eight league fixtures – a blistering start reminiscent of Leverkusen’s 2023/24 campaign where they became the first team in German football history to go invincible.
There’s a long way to go, but domestically and in Europe, Bayern are looking near unstoppable both in attack and in defence having conceded only four goals.
If you’re backing them to keep up this period of dominance with Kane on the scoresheet, check out this 4/9 Golden Combo.
Tip 2 – Luis Diaz to Score or Assist @ 21/50
What Kane is to goals, Díaz is to creation in this finely-tuned Bayern attack.
Since joining in the summer, the Colombian has registered four assists and five goals – making him Bayern’s second-top scorer behind Kane, followed by Michael Olise.
The trio together is operating on a completely different level to the rest of Europe’s top five leagues, and are a key component in Bayern's absurd +26 goal difference.
Last season, Díaz played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s 20th league title, ending the campaign with 13 goals and five assists – a return that shows he doesn’t just turn up, he delivers.
Will he play a similar role in helping Bayern lift their 34th?
He’s 21/50 to score or assist this weekend against a Leverkusen side that’s conceded in all but two league games this season.
Tip 3 – Edmond Tapsoba to be Carded @ 8/5
One of Leverkusen’s last remaining invincibles, Edmond Tapsoba, has a habit of making the referee reach for the pocket in this fixture.
The Burkinabe defender has been booked in each of his last four appearances against Bayern – a clear and consistent trend in this marquee fixture.
Operating on the left side of Leverkusen’s back three, Tapsoba will likely face off against Michael Olise – Bayern’s in-form attacking threat, who is already off to an electric start with four goals and three assists in the league this season.
It’s a tough match-up, and if history repeats itself, Tapsoba may well find himself in the book again…
While this may affect how he and the rest of the team performs, we’re still paying out at 8/5 for the Burkina Faso international to be carded.
