Bayern and Leverkusen clash leaders in the Bundesliga

A clash of leaders is the main attraction of the eighth round of the German Championship, which takes place this weekend. Bayern Munich host Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The two teams are at the top of the table with 16 points earned and whoever wins is isolated in the lead.

Involved in the Champions League dispute, where they have a decisive game in the middle of the week with Benfica, Bayern Munich will need to split up. He will also have to recover from the 2-1 defeat by Eintracht Frankfurt in the last round.

“We know it will be a very complicated duel, as Bayer Leverkusen have been playing the best football in the Bundesliga at the moment and Bayern will try to impose themselves. We are still growing, but we are aware of the responsibility of the game,” said goalkeeper Neuer, from Bayern.

Bayer Leverkusen is very packed. The team is coming off a 4-0 rout over Arminia and knows it can impose itself once and for all in the season if it wins against the big bogeyman of the competition.
