Bavaria is almost back on the full strength for the first leg against Leverkusen. Joshua Kimmich has made a quick relaxation and Dayot Upamecano is also ready to roll. Kingsley Coman started against Leroy Sané, a strategic gambit by Vincent Kompany, to help Alphonso Davies to block Jeremie Frimpong on the left flank of the Bavaria.

The Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen will perform for the fourth time in the third competition in this campaign. Both teams only approved one loss in 2025. The chess game between Vincent Kompany and Xabi Alonso was fascinating.

Both Bundesliga games ended with a draw and Leverkusen excluded Bavaria in the DFB Cup. Since Alonso took on management tasks in Leverkusen, Bavaria has not hit her in all six attempts. This series has to end if the Bavarian wants to advance to the winner of the Feyenoord-Inter Milan series for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Bavaria is currently in the top priority in the Bundesliga, eight points ahead of Leverkusen. Leverkusen ended the group stage of the Champions League in sixth place and avoided the elimination round in which Bayern -Rock from Celtic Rock saw. Leverkusen is also the clear favorite that leads to the DFB Cup semi-final.

Opportunities: Bavaria (-133), Draw (+280), Leverkusen (+350)

Forecast: Bayern wins 2-1. Leverkusen sits uncomfortably deep in the low block and prays that Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong can catch Bayern on the counterattack. The score will still be 0-0 at half -time. The game is broken up in the box in the second half with a questionable foul. Harry Kane is (obviously) buried the penalty. Ten minutes later, Michael Olise's cross finds a flying Leon Goretzka, who gives Bayern a commanding 2-0 lead. In added time, Victor Boniface will harass his way to a garbage goal that holds the score 2-1 in the trip to Leverkusen for the second leg.

It is the time of Bavaria.
