Robert Lewandowski may be missing for Bayern Munich, but Leon Bailey and his Bayer Leverkusen teammates will still have their work cut out against the champions on Tuesday. Read our reasons for Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen prediction and betting tips.
Lewandowski returned to training with the ball last week following the knee injury he sustained on international duty with Poland, and will no doubt be itching to get back for the final five games as he tries to get the five goals he needs to equal Gerd Müller's season record of 40. Lewandowski has notched more Bundesliga goals this season (35) than Bayern's next five top scorers combined: Thomas Müller (10), Serge Gnabry (9), Musiala (6), Leon Goretzka (5) and Leroy Sane (4). He wasn’t missed at the weekend, though, as Bayern extended their advantage at the top over RB Leipzig to seven points with a 3-2 victory at third-placed Wolfsburg. A history-making brace from Jamal Musiala and a second league goal of the season from able stand-in Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting did the job to move the record champions a big step close to an unprecedented ninth straight Meisterschale. David Alaba has started the last two games in midfield alongside Joshua Kimmich, but a knock to Lucas Hernandez may mean the Austrian, now non-German with the most appearances for the club, drops back into central defense again.
Bayern: Neuer (c) - Pavard, Boateng, Alaba, Davies - Kimmich, Musiala - Sane, Müller, Coman - Choupo-Moting
Out: Costa (metatarsal), Lewandowski (knee), Süle (thigh), Tolisso (thigh)
Doubtful: Hernandez (ribs), Hoffmann (knee), Goretzka (thigh)
Coach: Hansi Flick
The last time Leverkusen faced Bayern in the final game before Christmas, Die Werkself was top and still unbeaten in the league. A late Lewandowski winner saw their season turned on its head, though. Now they find themselves fifth and six points off the UEFA Champions League spots. A run of only three wins in 2021 saw Peter Bosz - the only Bundesliga coach with the honor of having beaten Hansi Flick's Bayern in Munich - replaced by Hannes Wolf. Alongside a 0-0 draw at Hoffenheim, he has won his other two games in charge, including Saturday’s 3-0 derby demolition of Cologne. The pace of Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby did the damage at the BayArena, but neither winger is expected to start at the Allianz Arena. Bailey scored twice as Leverkusen claimed a 2-1 victory on their last visit to the Allianz Arena, on 30 November 2019. Another question that has occupied Leverkusen bosses all season is whether to go with top scorer Lucas Alario or Patrik Schick up top – the latter got the nod at the weekend. Leverkusen, who are currently sixth in the table, have qualified for a European competition in 10 of the past 11 seasons.
Leverkusen: Hradecky - Tah, S. Bender, Tapsoba - Bellarabi, Palacios, Aranguiz (c), Wendell - Amiri, Demirbay - Alario
Out: Arias (ankle), Baumgartlinger (knee), L. Bender (knee), Fosu-Mensah (knee)
Doubtful: Paulinho (knee), Wirtz (groin)
Coach: Hannes Wolf

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
