An all-German round of sixteen clash will take place in Munich on Tuesday when Bayer Leverkusen host Bayern Munich.
Bayer Leverkusen, reeling under the 0-3 defeat they suffered in the first leg, will want to turn things around quickly. However, their preparation has been far from perfect as they suffered a 0-2 loss against Werder Bremen at home last weekend.

Manager Xabi Alonso, known for his penchant for big turnarounds in crucial fixtures, will hope that this fixture brings the best out of his players.
Nordi Mukiele is suspended for the hosts, and this will be a massive blow for them. He is known for his incisive passing skills, and someone else will have to step up in his place.
Florian Wirtz sustained a ligament injury in his right ankle during the Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen on Saturday, March 8, 2025. He was substituted in at the start of the second half but had to leave the pitch in the 59th minute following a tackle by Mitchell Weiser. Subsequent medical examinations confirmed that Wirtz will be sidelined for several weeks.
Robert Andrich might not start this game due to illness, whereas Martin Terrier and Jeanuël Belocian continue to be long-term absentees.
Bayer Leverkusen predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich (3-4-3): Kovar; Hermoso, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Xhaka, Palacios, Grimaldo; Tella, Buendía, Schick.
| Key Players to Watch | Schick |
| Team Strengths | Organisation in defence and possession-based football. |
| Team Weaknesses | Conceding set pieces and failing to defend them. |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Mukiele, Belocian, Terrier, Andrich. |
Bayern Munich, the undisputed kings of German football, will come up against Bayer Leverkusen, a side that has often had the better of them in recent times.
The first leg of this game saw Bayern beat their opponents 3-0, and hence, a lot of pressure will be on the hosts to do well this time around. However, just like Leverkusen, lost their weekend Bundesliga match. Despite two early goals from Guerreiro, Bayern lost the match after a surprising comeback from relegation-threatened Bochum (2-3).

There have been a total of 35 games recorded between these two teams in the past, out of which Leverkusen have won just eight.
Bayern, on the other hand, have been victorious on 18 occasions while the rest of the nine matches were played out as drawn encounters.
| Date | Competition | Result |
| 5 March 2025 | Champions League | Bayern Munich 3 – 0 Bayer Leverkusen |
| 15 February 2025 | Bundesliga | Bayer Leverkusen 0 – 0 Bayern Munich |
| 3 December 2024 | DFB-Pokal | Bayern Munich 0 – 1 Bayer Leverkusen |
| 28 September 2024 | Bundesliga | Bayern Munich 1 – 1 Bayer Leverkusen |
| 10 February 2024 | Bundesliga | Bayer Leverkusen 3 – 0 Bayern Munich |
| 15 September 2023 | Bundesliga | Bayern Munich 2 – 2 Bayer Leverkusen |
Both the times these sides met in the Bundesliga this season, they played out drawn encounters, although Bayern beat Leverkusen in the first leg of this UCL round of sixteen clash.
The two clubs had also met in a DFB Pokal game this season, in which Leverkusen ran away with a narrow 1-0 win.
Bet hereFor Bayern, it will, quite naturally, be Harry Kane.
The latter has been in excellent form this season, and has generally taken German football by storm ever since he arrived in a high-profile transfer move from English club Tottenham Hotspur.
Kane has already scored nine goals in this tournament so far.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Tactical Analysis
While Leverkusen pay a lot of attention to organisation in defence, Bayern are known for their free-flowing and flamboyant style of attacking football.
Leverkusen, being the home team, will want to get on the ball more often and keep it with them for most of the time.
However, Bayern will not allow that to happen very easily, and instead, press quickly to regain possession whenever they can.
Leverkusen, nonetheless, are known to change their tactics quickly when they are on the ascendancy, and one can often see them alter their formation and bring their wingers into the action more whenever they are dominating proceedings.
Bayern Munich are the favourites, and we expect them to either win or draw this game. Although they have a three-goal cushion with them, they will not want to rely upon it and close the matter as soon as possible.
Bayern are a side that has a lot of players with winning mentality, and they will be keen on taking the game away from Leverkusen. The rich history that Bayern have over Leverkusen suggests that they will remain unbeaten against them in this game as well.
Despite Florian Wirtz’s absence due to a right ankle ligament injury, the prediction that both Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich will score more than 2 goals remains strong.
Bayern Munich have scored at least two goals in each of their last four matches.
Additionally, four of the last five meetings between these teams at BayArena have ended with over 2.5 goals.
Leverkusen’s need to overcome a 3-0 deficit from the first leg will likely lead them to adopt an aggressive approach, increasing the chances of both teams finding the net.
