Following last weekend’s loss to Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich find themselves looking up at someone in the Bundesliga table. Now, entering Saturday’s match against Bayer Leverkusen, the Bavarians are six points back of RB Leipzig, due to the newcomer’s big win on Friday.
There’s a lot of talk in Bayern circles about what Carlo Ancelotti is getting right/wrong with regards to his tactics with this squad. He is, however, confident in his squad. “We have to show a reaction,” Ancelotti said, “and against Leverkusen we have a great opportunity to bounce back. I'm confident and fully trust my team.”
Several players are returning to fitness and should be available against Leverkusen making Ancelotti’s job a little bit easier. The Italian has yet to have a full squad available at his disposal so keep your fingers crossed that he’ll get it soon.
Leverkusen are still Neverkusen. Bayern need to take all three points.
