Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
All eyes will be on BayArena when Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich face each other in the Bundesliga derby. Bayer Leverkusen are desperate to melt Bayern Munich’s advantage to five points and they have no other choice but to go all guns blazing at Vincent Kompany’s troops. Both Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong should be recalled to the starting XI, while left wing-back Alex Grimaldo is back from suspension. The likes of Martin Terrier, Jeanuel Belocian, and Odilon Kossounou remain in the recovery room.
The mighty Bavarians, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Werder Bremen, with the team extending their winning run to seven games. Tired legs, though, could prove to be a big problem for the league leaders as they head into Saturday’s derby after facing Celtic in the Champions League knockout stages. This is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the title holders. Serge Gnabry has overcome his injury, but both Alphonso Davies and Joao Palhinha remain on the sidelines.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):

Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
