In what is a heavyweight first-leg showdown on Wednesday night, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen will meet at the Allianz as they get their respective Champions League Round of 16 adventures underway.
Enjoying what has become a sensational domestic romp this season and holding a commanding eight-point buffer at the top of the Bundesliga table, Munich will know the importance of claiming an early advantage on home soil.
While Leverkusen might have a real battle on their hands in the race to defend their domestic crown in 2025, Wednesday’s guests are enjoying what has become an extended flurry on either side of Germany’s festive break.
With all eyes falling on the Allianz in midweek, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Bet Builder Tips.
A frantic affair from the Allianz
While the two German giants might have played out a 0-0 stalemate when they met at the BayArena for a Bundesliga showdown on February 15th, we are expecting a far more enjoyable affair on Wednesday night.
Watching Leverkusen storm their way to a sensational 4-1 romp away at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday evening, both camps have gained a reputation for their clinical performances.
With Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen settling for a 1-1 draw when they last met at the Allianz on September 28th, chances could fall at both ends of the pitch here.
While Munich might have eventually edged their way past Celtic last month as they secured a thrilling 3-2 aggregate win, Wednesday’s hosts have recorded just a pair of clean sheets from any of their last six matchups at the Allianz across all competitions.
Likewise, since returning from Germany’s festive break, Leverkusen have seen four of their six showdowns away from the BayArena finish with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

Munich seek an early advantage on home soil
Although some might have been shocked last summer following Vincent Kompany’s arrival at the Allianz, Wednesday’s hosts are clearly enjoying life under the former Burnley boss.
Picking up some perfect momentum last time out as they stormed their way to a 3-1 romp away at Stuttgart, Bayern Munich are sat firmly in the driving seat to reclaim their Bundesliga crown in 2025.
Suffering just a single defeat from any of their previous 14 appearances across all competitions, Kompany’s camp have also gained a fearsome reputation for their success on home soil.
Signing off their Champions League group stage adventure with a routine 3-1 victory against Slovan Bratislava, Bayern have won eight of their previous nine showdowns in front of their own supporters.
Last seen at the Allianz hitting Eintracht Frankfurt for four, it should also be highlighted that Kompany’s side have notched at least a trio of goals in eight of those nine home fixtures.

Leverkusen finding top gear at a crucial time
While Bayer Leverkusen might have failed to find any real stability when opening up the 2024/25 campaign, Xabi Alonso’s side has certainly turned a real corner on either side of Germany’s festive break.
Although Wednesday’s guests might currently find themselves sat eight points adrift of Bayern and top spot in the Bundesliga standings, Leverkusen are enjoying a recent flurry.
Putting in a dominant display last weekend as they secured a thumping 4-1 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, the one-time Liverpool midfielder has seen his squad suffer just a sole defeat from any of their last 21 appearances across all competitions.
With that run stemming all the way back to a 4-0 drumming at Anfield on November 5th, the defending German champions will also be excited by their gritty success away from the BayArena.
Suffering just a single defeat on their travels since returning from November’s international break, Leverkusen will be confident of asking some real question on Wednesday night.
