Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen predictions: The Bavarians set for a ninth league win
Key stats

Correct score prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 Leverkusen
As expected, current champions Bayern Munich have taken the league by storm this term, and it is no surprise given the quality within their ranks. After nine rounds of matches, Vincent Kompany's men have maximum points.
Going into this fixture, the Bavarians will be keen to keep their 100% record, but the visitors can not be underrated.
After five victories this term, the visiting side will back themselves to come away with a positive result on Saturday. However, smart money will be on Bayern Munich to emerge winners with a 3-1 scoreline.

With odds of 2/9 (1.22), which translates to a probability of 81.8%, the Bavarians are overwhelming favourites to claim all the spoils after regulation time on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen have a lesser chance of winning, if the projections of the bookmakers are anything to go by. The visitors are priced at 9/1 (10), with a probability of 10%.
Most recent H2Hs: Can the hosts make it three wins in a row?
Bayern Munich won the last two meetings between these teams by an aggregate score line of 5-0. Interestingly, those two wins came in the UEFA Champions League. However, the story is a little different in the league, with the visitors managing two draws and a loss in three encounters.
Nevertheless, all indications point towards a first league victory over Bayer Leverkusen since February 2024.

Bayern Munich Preview: A ninth win in the offing for Bayern Munich?
As stated previously, Bayern Munich have won all eight league games this season, and they are on the hunt for a ninth victory. While their win record is impressive, their goalscoring record is equally amazing, with 30 strikes recorded in that period.
Another positive angle to their campaign so far is that they have made a habit of winning heavily on home soil. All of their victories at home have come with at least a four-goal margin.
As far as injuries go, Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Equi Fernandez are all ruled out of this fixture.
