Record clash between Bayern and Leverkusen: which unbeaten run will end? | OneFootball

In Munich, the league leaders face their closest challengers – and both teams bring impressive streaks with them. There’s more at stake than just three points.

On Saturday evening, FC Bayern will host Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena for the Bundesliga top match. The Munich side has won all eight league games so far and confidently leads the table. Leverkusen, after a mixed start, sits in fifth place with 17 points and has recently shown much more stability.

The record champions have also set a new benchmark: With 14 consecutive competitive wins, Vincent Kompany’s team surpassed AC Milan’s previous European record for the best start. In a Sky interview, the coach explained: “We take it game by game, stay focused, and know that records are nice, but they aren’t everything.”

The Werkself also travel to Munich with impressive numbers. Kasper Hjulmand’s team is unbeaten in 37 Bundesliga away games – a record no other club has achieved so far. Captain Robert Andrich also set a personal best with his 38th unbeaten away match.

However, one streak recently came to an end for FC Bayern: Harry Kane, for the first time in nine Bundesliga matches, was not involved in a goal during the 3-0 win in Mönchengladbach. The Englishman even scored a goal that was disallowed for offside. Nevertheless, the 32-year-old remains a central factor in the record champions’ play – and now wants to start a new run of success.

The conditions for a thrilling duel could hardly be better. Both teams go into the top match with confidence, both want to continue their impressive runs. However, for one of the two streaks, Saturday evening in Munich will inevitably mark the end.
