In his short yet successful tenure as manager at Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso has never lost to his former club, Bayern Munich. His counterpart, Vincent Kompany, has never been defeated by a German club during his managerial career.
Bayern has only scored multiple goals once in its last five matches, but the defense has been stellar in keeping opponents off the board. Stuttgart is the only German club to shut out Leverkusen this season.
Regardless of today’s result, an impressive streak or two will be broken.
Prediction: Bayern Munich wins 2-1. Leon Goretzka (header) and Jamal Musiala (controversial penalty kick) save the day.
It’s Bayern time.
