Match Preview: Bayern Munich face stern test against Bayer Leverkusen
Opposition Focus
Peter Bosz has got the tune of the first-team squad at Bayern Leverkusen. They can play the possession style football and also adapt to depend on transition style based on the game situation. He tactically outwitted Flick at Allianz Arena, so he will have something in store for the in-form Bayern Munich.
Kai Havertz is the main man for Leverkusen in the final third. The German midfielder has been enjoying a phenomenal run of form in Ruckrunde. He has been playing in a false nine role, scoring four goals in the last four games.
Apart from Havertz, Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby also carry the threat for Leverkusen in the final third. Die Roten will have to be on their toes when they lose the ball as Leverkusen has the quality to execute swift counter-attacks. This game is likely to be tougher than Der Klassiker, testing Flick and the team’s adaptability against another formidable opponent.
