Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen picks and predictions
My best bet:
Harry Kane anytime goal (-103 at TonyBet)
My analysis
Bayern are currently topping the Bundesliga table after 24 games. With 10 more matches left, they put eight points between them and Leverkusen, the undefeated champions of last year. On February 15, when the two sides last met in the league, Bayern held Leverkusen to a 0-0 draw. Despite Leverkusen dominating, Bayern got a result that would secure their cruising speed toward another German title.
Harry Kane has 7 goals and one assist under his belt in the nine matches he played in the Champions League since the start of the current campaign. His season total is outstanding. He scored 29 times in all competitions, while also providing the assists for ten more. You don't ask much more from a striker, can you? But Kane is hungry for more. He hasn't won any major silverware in his career and moved to Bayern in his quest for glory. He's been accused before of not delivering in the big matches for the Bavarian giants, so each chance he gets to prove his critics wrong should see him get even more motivated.
Kane moved to Germany ahead of the 2023-24 season. He faced Leverkusen four times since, scoring against them only once, as Bayern drew three times and lost once. At -103 via TonyBet, I'm backing Kane to hit the net on Wednesday evening. I'm also considering an assist from Michael Olise for an excellent +270 return, given that the Frenchman set up his teammates on 12 occasions since the campaign began.
Bayern Munich vs Leverkusen same-game parlay (SGP)
Harry Kane anytime goal
Michael Olise 1+ assist
Over 9.5 corners
Olise is the main goal fuel provider for Bayern this season. He assisted 12 times, the most in the Bayern squad. Joshua Kimmich, who's doubtful for manager Vincent Kompany ahead of this clash, and Harry Kane sit behind Olise in the assists' stats on 10 each. Olise wants to get involved as much as possible. This match between the two sides shouldn't be anything like their Bundesliga confrontation in February. There should be goals in this game and if you have Bayern goals you can't omit Olise from the discussion.
Since both teams have great attacking players, a bet on corners to round up the parlay sounds legit. Bayern alone had 83 corners this season in the Champions League, the highest number in the competition, meaning an average of 8.3 per game. Leverkusen's average is just below five per match.
