Command Analysis
Bayern Munich
GermanyCurrent form
Bayern are currently facing a difficult schedule, but the team is used to it. After an important 1-0 home win over PSG in the Champions League, the Munich team played away in the Bundesliga against Borussia Dortmund. The opponent in that match opened the scoring in the first half, but in the 45th minute of the second, Musiala responded with his own goal at the end (1-1). Vincent Komapani team confidently holds first place in the standings, four points ahead of Eintracht. In 12 rounds played, the Reds have not suffered a single defeat - nine wins and three draws.
In the Cup, Bayern have two victorious matches under their belt. In class, they beat Ulm and Mainz with the same score of 4:0. This season, the Munich team did not allow themselves the same misfire in the cup tournament that they had a year ago, when they could not cope with modest Saarbrücken in the 1/16 finals.

Bayer Leverkusen
GermanyCurrent form
Bayer is the current winner of the German Cup.

In the Bundesliga, they dealt with Heidenheim (5:2) and Union (2:1). Between these matches, there was a crushing 5:0 home victory over Salzburg in the Champions League.

2.20Tip and bets
Bayer has recently become an inconvenient opponent for Bayern. In four previous face-to-face encounters, Leverkusen has not lost - two wins and two draws. In September, the opponents played each other in the Bundesliga in Munich and drew 1:1. Both teams are approaching the upcoming match in good shape, but have noticeable problems with their lineup. In general, it cannot be said that Bayern plays strongly against formidable opponents in Germany - they drew with the same Eintracht and Borussia Dortmund. We think that, given the odds, it is worth taking a risk in this top match and betting on Bayer making it to the quarterfinals as a result of the meeting.
