Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich welcome third-placed Bayer Leverkusen to the Allianz Arena on Saturday afternoon in what should be a highly entertaining encounter.

Leverkusen's matches have averaged the most goals in the division, while Bayern are the top scorers in the German top flight and both sides are likely to contribute to an open game in Bavaria.

Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen latest odds

Julian Nagelsmann's side have won 10 of their 12 home league games this season and are offered at 2/7 (1.28) to claim another victory with bet365.

Leverkusen, meanwhile, are available at 11/2 (6.50) to win at the Allianz Arena which they last did in November 2019.

The draw can be backed at 9/2 (5.50).

Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen first goalscorer

Robert Lewandowski is priced at 21/10 (3.10) to open the scoring for what would be the 12th time in the Bundesliga this season.

The man just behind him in the Bundesliga top scorers list is Patrik Schick but Leverkusen's Czech striker will miss the game with a muscle injury picked up in last weekend's win over Mainz.

Elsewhere in the market Serge Gnabry is offered at 11/2 (6.50) while Moussa Diaby is available at 14/1 (15.00).

Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen preview

Leverkusen's 12 away games this season have seen 50 goals scored and Gerardo Seaone's side have provided plenty of entertainment.

The absence of Schick from the team is a major blow, but there is still enough firepower for the visitors to cause Bayern problems.

Nagelsmann's men have conceded in seven of their 12 home league games this term, while the likes of Koln, RB Leipzig, Borussia Monchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt have all scored at least twice on their respective visits to the Allianz Arena.

Leverkusen for their part may have been scoring freely but defensively they remain extremely vulnerable having kept just one clean sheet in their last 12 league matches.

Goals at both ends look highly likely this weekend and backing a high-scoring game makes plenty of sense.

Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen tips & predictions

Over 3.5 goals is priced at 8/11 (1.73) and has paid out in eight of Leverkusen's last 11 away league games, as well as in seven of Bayern's 12 home clashes in the Bundesliga.
