Bayern Munich will hope to close the gap on league leaders Borussia Dortmund as they travel to the BayArena to face Bayer Leverkusen.

Current form: Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich

Bayer Leverkusen made a managerial change and so far, Peter Bosz seems to have helped them improve their fortunes. They come into this match having picked up a confidence-boosting 3-0 victory over Wolfsburg recently, but certainly they will have to make some major modifications for the upcoming visit of Bayern Munich this weekend. Expect them to naturally adopt a more defensive approach to try to secure at least a point against a team who have been the most dominant side in the Bundesliga over pretty much most of the past decade or so.

Meanwhile, Bayern made it a seventh Bundesliga win in a row by beating Stuttgart 4-1 last round, but they still sit six points behind league leaders Borussia Dortmund. They'll be hoping that die Schwarzgelben slip up against Eintracht Frankfurt, but given that they have lost just once all season, that's highly unlikely to happen, and so Niko Kovac's men will be simply looking to make it an eighth straight Bundesliga victory at the BayArena to further solidify their grip on second place and stay ahead of Borussia M'gladbach, who are truly having a very impressive season so far.
