Over 3.5 Goals

Since their season opening thrashing at the hands of RB Leipzig in the Super Cup, Bayern Munich have looked very strong, winning all three of their Bundesliga games, scoring nine goals while conceding just two. England’s Harry Kane has scored three so far but it’s not all been the Kane show with former Man City winger Leroy Sane among the goals and France’s Mathys Tel scoring as well.

Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen have also won all three of their league games, scoring a very impressive 11 while conceding three. Both teams should be scoring here and both are certainly in good enough form to score at least a second, or even more so we’re backing seeing at least four goals come Friday night.

Harry Kane to Score

Three Bundesliga games, three Bundesliga goals. Harry Kane has very much fit into the Robert Lewandowski-shaped hole that was left when he left for Barcelona. All Premier League fans know how lethal Kane was despite carrying Spurs on his back – albeit with Son Heung-min usually there to help. But now he has Thomas Muller/Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman to put chances on a plate.

Kane’s going to be unstoppable at Bayern and with Leverkusen’s less than favourable record at the Allianz you’d have to fancy the England captain to rattle the net at least once.

Bayern to Win

Alonso’s side will give Bayern a stern test here, you’d have to imagine he’ll try and play like Leipzig did in their Super Cup win. However, the Bavarians only introduced Kane with a few minutes remaining so their back three are going to have to be on song.

Die Werkself have a terrible record in Munich, winning just one of their last 10 games and with Kane’s supporting cast behind him as well as Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka supporting we can only see a Bayern win.

Victor Boniface to have 1 or more Shots on Target

Nigeria’s Victor Boniface signed for Leverkusen over the summer from Belgium’s Union Saint-Gilloise. He’s looked sensational so far, scoring four goals in three games as well as providing two assists. The away side will have a fair amount of the ball here, they’re unlikely to dig in and defend unless they go down to a couple of early goals, so they’re going to create a few chances and we reckon Boniface will test the reflexes of Sven Ulreich between the Bayern sticks.

Granit Xhaka to Commit 1 or More Fouls

Former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has started all three league games so far for his new employers. He’s picked up one booking and that’s about what we’d expect from a player who has averaged around a card every three games over his career.

Of course, he’s got bags of experience at a high level and won’t be fazed against such tough opposition but there will be spells when he’s going to be chasing shadows. Xhaka will surely take a man down to buy some time here so we’re backing him to commit at least one foul.

Dayot Upamecano to Commit 1 or More Fouls

France’s Dayot Upamecano is one of those smart defenders you love to see in the game. Since signing for Bayern he’s played 55 Bundesliga games and has only collected 10 bookings which is a very decent return.

His foul stats however are well above one per game, he’s great at hiding being cynical but he’s more than happy to bring a man to ground when he has to.
