The battle of the German giants in the Champions League continues on Tuesday night when Bayer Levekusen play host to rivals Bayern Munich in the second leg of their round of 16 clash. The winner of the tie between Die Werkself and Die Roten will move on to face either Inter Milan or Feyenoord in the quarter-final. Check out our match prediction below!
Bayer Leverkusen have a mountain to climb in this match after suffering a hefty 3-0 loss at the Allianz Arena last week. However, the reigning Bundesliga champions are unbeaten in their last three matches at BayArena against this opponent under Xabi Alonso (W2 D1 L0). Prior to the Spaniard’s arrival, Leverkusen had only one of their preceding eight against Bayern at this venue.
Despite their recent record in this fixture and having home advantage, bookmakers view the visitors as the underdogs in this match. Let’s take a look at some more key stats.

Bayer Leverkusen - Bayern Munich: Form Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen are hoping to become only the fifth team in the history of the Champions League to concede three goals in the first leg of a knockout stage match and still progress to the next round.
Die Werkself were thoroughly outplayed in the first leg and were already two goals down before they were reduced to 10 men. They only registered three shots at goal, only one of which was on target.
Following that result, the hosts suffered a 2-0 home loss to Werder Bremen over the weekend, bringing an end to an 18-match unbeaten streak at BayArena (W14, D4) dating back to the end of August.
However, Bayer Leverkusen have not lost back-to-back home games since February 2023!
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are looking to qualify to the quarter-final of the Champions League for the 35th time - only Real Madrid have reached the last eight of this competition more often (39).
Still, it is worth noting that Die Roten have lost two matches in this European campaign by three or more goals, having been beaten by Barcelona 4-1 in October and Feyenoord 5-1 in January.
Indeed, this is the first time in their European Cup/ Champions League history that the Bavarians have lost more than one match by three or more goals.

Bayer Leverkusen & Bayern Munich Squad Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen were dealt a massive blow over the weekend, with Florian Wirtz lasting only 15 minutes after coming off the bench at halftime before returning to the locker room with an injury.
However, Die Werkself’s top scorer this season is not the only absentee here, as Nordi Mukiele was the player sent off in the first leg and will be suspended.
The absence of the French full-back may see Alonso opt for a three-at-the-back formation, with the hosts forced to go in search of three unanswered goals to level the tie.
Harry Kane took his goal tally for the season to 30 in 33 matches across all competitions with his brace in the first leg.
Kane trails Serhou Guirassy by one goal in the leading scorer standings in this competition!
Jamal Musiala has had six direct goal contributions in 11 Champions League games this term, assisting three and scoring three, including netting the second goal of the victory last week at the Allianz.
