Bundesliga : Bayern vs Leverkusen
Beijing time on October 1, 2022, Bundesliga 8th round, Bayern will face Leverkusen at home. Bayern's performance this season is very unsatisfactory. After 7 rounds of the league, he achieved 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, ranking fifth in the league with 12 points, and is 5 points away from the current leader Berlin United. Compared with previous seasons, it does make the class bully Bayern a little embarrassed. The team lost 0-1 to the weak team Augsburg in the last round of the league, which made many fans sigh. In terms of lineup, Koman , Saar, Hernandez , Neuer and Gretzka and others were injured, and they may not be able to participate in this game.
At the pre-match press conference, coach Nagelsman talked about the preparations. He said, "Most of the people are back. Koeman, Lucas , Sal and Wanna will be absent. For Koeman, it makes sense to see when he will come back. He may partially participate in the joint training next week. Lucas will need more time." At the same time, he also talked about this game. Opponent, he said: "Leverkusen is in a bad situation, but it will still be a top showdown. We will show our due performance tomorrow, and we need points and victory."
Leverkusen's performance this season is extremely unbearable. Not only did he start with three consecutive losses, but he also only achieved 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses after 7 rounds of the league, and ranked 15th in the league with 5 points. This is indeed unsatisfactory for the Bundesliga giants. From the data perspective, Leverkusen scored 9 goals in 7 rounds of the league and conceded 12 goals, and his offense and defense performance was not ideal, especially the defensive end still has loopholes. In the Champions League group stage, there were also ups and downs. Although he defeated Atletico Madrid , he also lost to Bruges.
Leverkusen's form has recovered recently and has remained unbeaten for three consecutive games. The team played against Werder Bremen at home in the last round of the league, with a ball possession rate of 54%, and 19 shots and 7 shots on the right. Although Demirbai's goal helped the team take the lead temporarily, the good times did not last long. Due to the mistakes in the defense line, the opponent still scored successfully. In the end, the two sides shook hands 1-1 to make peace. In terms of lineup, Wilz, Bella Rabi, Palacios, Lunioff and Adri are injured and will miss the game in this game.
In terms of past matchups, Bayern has played against Leverkusen in the last 10 times, achieving 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, with a clear advantage in history. In terms of recent situation, Bayern lost the style of class dominating the start of the new season, and many international players in the team have been working hard all the way, so the team's condition is hard to say; while Leverkusen's condition has recovered recently, but the problem of the defense line still exists. Judging from the current attitudes of all parties, the home team has given strong support. Combined with the strength and state of both sides, Bayern's small victory in this battle can still be expected.
