Bayern Munich find themselves ten points off the pace when it comes to retaining their German Bundesliga title. It’s unlikely that Thomas Tuchel’s side can catch the high-flying Bayer Leverkusen and the manager is set to depart the Allianz Arena at the end of the season. The former Chelsea boss will hope that he can at least oversee a Klassiker win.
Bayern have won eleven, drawn one and lost one of their thirteen clashes at home this season, with Harry Kane having scored an astonishing thirty-one goals in the Bundesliga this term although he was absent from international duty over the past fortnight. His absence could be a big blow for this title-chasing side.
Edin Terzic’s side came within a whisker of being crowned champions last season and they can’t be underestimated considering the strides that have been made in the Champions League. They were able to beat PSV Eindhoven 3-1 on aggregate in the previous round to line up a quarter final showdown against Atletico Madrid.
On the flip side, there was a 4-0 Der Klassiker victory for Bayern Munich when the sides previously met at Signal Iduna Park, with Kane potentially returning for this clash. His presence in the team could help them to a victory and we’ll play a Bayern win and both teams to score.
