Bayern Munich will seek to extend their record-breaking run with victory over Bayer Leverkusen in a battle between the last two Bundesliga champions. Wednesday’s 4-1 DFB-Pokal triumph at Cologne made it 14 competitive wins out of 14 to start the season, surpassing the European record set by AC Milan in the 1990s.
Critics will argue Bayern have had a largely favourable fixture list, but their next two games - against Leverkusen and Paris St Germain - are far from straightforward.
Leverkusen are rebuilding following the departures of key figures such as Xabi Alonso, Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Granit Xhaka, and are already on their second coach of the season, but they look a side on the up.
However, Bayern are now a well-oiled machine, and you can get Bayern -1 @ 11/20 for them to make 15 successive wins on Saturday.

Head To Head
Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Head-To-Head.
These two German heavyweights met five times last season. Bayern won both legs of their Champions League last-16 tie, 5-0 on aggregate, but Leverkusen knocked them out of the DFB-Pokal while their Bundesliga matches finished in draws.
The previous season, Alonso’s side drew 2-2 in Munich and won 3-0 at home en route to winning Leverkusen’s maiden Bundesliga title. Prior to that, Bayern have tended to have the edge, including enjoying some big wins at the BayArena, but it has not been all one-way traffic, and a score draw this weekend would get you odds of 13/2.

Bayern have seen off all comers, including beating Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund at home in probably their most challenging fixtures on paper, but the next few days are set to test Vincent Kompany’s men to the full. On Saturday, they host a Leverkusen side who have won their last four Bundesliga games to climb up to fifth before travelling to European champions PSG - who thrashed Leverkusen 7-2 at the BayArena last week - on Tuesday.
But the German champions will not be fearing anybody and in Harry Kane they have a player in some of the form of his life, with 22 goals in 14 appearances for Bayern. Kane has only failed to score in two games this term, and you can get 28/1 for him to net the only goal on Saturday.
Bayer Leverkusen Form Guide
Bayer Leverkusen Form Guide
Life after history-making coach Alonso was always going to be difficult for Leverkusen, and Erik ten Hag only lasted two league games - a draw and defeat - before being sacked. His replacement, Kasper Hjulmand, has enjoyed a steady start and had guided Leverkusen to four wins and three draws before suffering his first loss - that seven-goal mauling by PSG.
Leverkusen bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Freiburg last weekend and saw off Paderborn 4-2 in the cup in midweek. An away win at Allianz Arena is 8/1, while you can get 12/1 for a Leverkusen win with both teams to score.
