This game will be the definition of the top of the table since both clubs are tied with 16 points.

“It's going to be a great game,” said FCB president Herbert Hainer. “There is a rivalry between Leverkusen and Bayern. Now the two are at the top, tied on points - and then face off on Sunday. I'm really looking forward to it."

Leverkusen has been in excellent form lately under coach Gerardo Seoane, who took over in the summer. Sixteen points after seven rounds of games represent the club's best start to the Bundesliga season in eight years. Since their only campaign loss so far - a dramatic 4-3 loss to Dortmund in mid-September. The team won the last five matches in all competitions and arrives confident for this duel. “It's a great game that everyone is excited about! We want to have the same performance and the same commitment that we had in the last matches”, commented defender Jonathan Tah.

The team is third in the Bundesliga with 16 points in 7 games, 5 wins 1 draw and 1 loss, 20 goals scored and 7 conceded, the second-best defense alongside today's rivals Bayer Munich. If they win today, they become the leader in this round.

Leverkusen may have injured Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Julian Baumgartliger;

Bayer Munich is only in this position due to the stumble in the last round when they lost at home to Frankfurt by 2-1. Before that, their record is perfect, winning 5 teams all with a rout and a lot of authority. They are in second place with 16 points and a record of 5 wins 1 draw and 1 loss. Furthermore, in h2h Bayer Munich won the last 4 matches against Leverkusen, 3 of them at the opponent's home.

Bayer Munich has practically a complete squad for the classic since only absent Benjamin Pavard suspended and injured Sven Ulreich.

Although the hosts' timing is very good and they are showing a very regular performance and with an organized posture on the field, they still have a very inferior team technically and should be clear on the field in this game. Bayer has been the best team in Europe for some time and they continue to show a very strong offensive sector, so much so that they are the best attack and second-best defense in the Bundesliga. Besides, after the stumble in the last round, they are even more attentive in this game to get back to score and take the first position that belongs to them.

My probable score here is 0-2 1-3

Marco Antonio,

GL!

这场比赛将是积分榜榜首的定义，因为两家俱乐部都积16分。

“这将是一场伟大的比赛，”FCB主席赫伯特·海纳说。“勒沃库森和拜仁之间存在竞争。现在这两支球队并列榜首，积分持平，然后将在周日对决。我真的很期待。”

勒沃库森在今年夏天上任的主教练吉拉尔多·西恩的带领下一直保持着良好的状态。七轮比赛拿下16分，这是俱乐部八年来德甲开局最好的成绩。自从他们在9月中旬以4-3戏剧性的输给多特蒙德之后，他们就只输了一场比赛。该队在所有比赛中赢得了最后五场比赛，并对这场决斗充满信心。“这是一款每个人都很兴奋的游戏!我们希望有和上一场比赛一样的表现和承诺。”后卫乔纳森·塔塔评论道。

这支球队在7场比赛中得到16分，5胜1平1负，20个进球，7个失球，在德甲排名第三，仅次于今天的对手拜耳慕尼黑。如果他们今天赢了，他们就会成为这一轮的领导者。

勒沃库森可能伤害了福苏-门萨和鲍姆加特里格;

拜耳慕尼黑之所以处于这个位置，是因为他们在上一轮比赛中在主场以2-1输给了法兰克福。在那之前，他们的记录是完美的，赢得了5支球队，所有的溃败和很多权威。他们以16分排名第二，并创下了5胜1平1负的记录。此外，在h2h，拜耳慕尼黑赢得了对勒沃库森的最后4场比赛，其中3场是在对手的主场。

除了帕瓦德缺阵和乌尔里奇受伤外，拜仁慕尼黑几乎拥有了一支完整的阵容。

虽然主队的时机很好，他们在球场上的表现非常有规律，有组织的姿态，但他们在技术上仍然是一支非常弱的队伍，在这场比赛中应该是清楚的。拜耳已经是欧洲最好的球队一段时间了，他们继续展示了非常强大的进攻部门，以至于他们是德甲最好的进攻和第二好的防守。此外，在上一轮的失利之后，他们在这场比赛中更加专注于得分，抢占属于他们的第一个位置。

预测比分0:2或1:3。
