Match facts

Bayern Munich

Bayern have won each of their last five home matches against Leverkusen.
Bayern coach Kovac played for Leverkusen between 1996 and 1999, while his brother (and assistant coach) Robert also laced his boots for Die Werkself between 1996 and 2001.
Robert Lewandowski makes his 200th competitive appearance for Bayern in this game. He has scored six times in the club's first four matches under Kovac.

Bayer Leverkusen

Leverkusen have lost their opening two Bundesliga matches for the first time since 1994/95.
Leverkusen coach Herrlich worked as a youth coach at Bayern between 2013 and 2015.
Leverkusen forward Kevin Volland has never been on the winning team against Bayern (two draws, 10 defeats). However, he did score the joint-fastest Bundesliga goal of all time against the Bavarians in August 2015, netting after just nine seconds for Hoffenheim.

Predictions

Heiko Herrlich’s defensive line revealed plenty of holes in two league games so far and we can hardly imagine Leverkusen holding Munich’s world-class attack here.

Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller bagged two goals apiece ahead of this third-round tie and they will be the biggest threat to Bayer’s goal on the occasion.

Final Score – 4 : 1
