Looking to stay atop the Bundesliga standings, Bayern Munich will host title-defending Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena in Saturday's fifth round of action.

After an unprecedented eleven-year reign over the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich were forced to relinquish their grip on German football last season, finishing only third behind the invicible champions Leverkusen and the runner-up Stuttgart. Disappointed by a trophyless campaign last season, Bayern's management made several bold moves over the summer, including replacing Thomas Tuchel with Vincent Kompany, and the Belgian coach is thriving on the sidelines so far, having guided Bayern to a perfect start with maximum points from their first four top-flight matches.

Saturday's visitors to the Allianz Arena will be Bayer Leverkusen, who stunned the German football scene last season by not only ending Bayern's eleven-year dominance but also lifting their first Meisterschale in history, achieving this feat without a single loss (W28 D6). Although Xabi Alonso's squad couldn't maintain their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga, as they surprisingly squandered a two-goal lead to suffer a thriller five-goal defeat against RB Leipzig on matchday two, they managed to handle the remaining three top-flight tasks with ease to sit just behind Bayern Munich in the standings.

Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips: BAYERN MUNICH TO WIN

Without a doubt, this clash between two Bundesliga heavyweights promises to be a spectacular showdown filled with goals, and we hope that the Munich machinery will continue the trend of knocking their rivals to the ground, especially since they instill more confidence compared to the current German champions. The title defense in the Bundesliga has been marred by numerous frustrations, as Xabi Alonso's men not only suffered a shocking defeat to RB Leipzig in round two, but they also needed last-minute goals to secure dramatic wins against Borussia M'gladbach (3-2) and Wolfsburg (4-3). 

In stark contrast, Bayern Munich have brutally launched their campaigns across all fronts, as they have effortlessly dispatched all six of their opening competitive challenges while netting an astonishing 29 goals during this prolific stretch. Moreover, the Bavarians are on fire as they head into their toughest match of the season, and their scoring prowess instills fear and trepidation, having packed no less than 20 balls into the net in their last three outings in any format, which includes a jaw-dropping 9-2 rout of Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League debut. While Bayer Leverkusen may not be an easy opponent to conquer, the roaring atmosphere at Allianz Arena combined with Bayern Munich's explosive start to the season suggests that Xabi Alonso's side could face their second defeat, as it appears that the Bavarian machine has hit their stride and seems unstoppable at this moment.
