- Venue: Allianz Arena
A rematch of the goalless draw between these two teams over two weeks ago takes place on Wednesday, but this time it will be a European clash.
Just seven points separate the two sides in the Bundesliga, with Bayern Munich sitting on top of the tree and reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen currently in second place.
Bayern Munich needed a playoff to get this far in the Champions League after finishing outside the top 8 in the group stage, but the Reds made the most of their second chance. Kompany and Co. progressed with a 3-2 aggregate win in what was arguably an unconvincing performance over the two legs. They played the second leg without their main man Harry Kane, but the England's all-time top scorer will be available on Wednesday, which is a huge boost.
Bayer Leverkusen have enjoyed a successful return to the Champions League. The visitors finished in sixth place with just two defeats, including wins over the likes of Milan and Inter Milan. However, Xabi Alonso's side will be concerned that they have won just one of their four European games away from the BayArena this season.
Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Kompany’s men boast two clean sheets from their last three Bundesliga encounters but they have struggled to defend in their European matches this season. Bayern boast only two clean sheets from their ten Champions League encounters this season, with both teams scoring in each of the last four,
Bayer Leverkusen have very little problems when it comes to scoring this season, domestically and in Europe. Die Werkself boast a total of 15 goals in Europe this season and only failed to score in one of their eight encounters.
