Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen Betting Tips: Back Kane to score at a generous price

Bayern Munich take on Bayer Leverkusen live on Friday evening in the Bundesliga. The game can be seen live on Sky Sports Mix and also on the Sky Sports Youtube channel, kicking off at 19:30. We’ve put forward a case for two bets that we think represent value in the betting markets which you can read all about below.

We have first against second in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen being the only two sides still to boast a 100% record after three rounds of fixtures in the German top-flight. 

Bayern are currently seeking a 12th consecutive league title and started their campaign with a 4-0 win on the road at Werder Bremen. Then followed that up with a 3-1 home win over Augsburg, before managing a 2-1 win on the road at Borussia Monchengladbach in their final game before the international break. 

Xabi Alonso has been praised for the job he has done since being appointed Leverkusen manager last October. Die Wrekself finished the previous campaign sixth in the league table and will have their sights set on a higher position this time round, especially after collecting maximum points from their first three matches. 

As expected, the hosts are the favourites to get the win at the Allianz Arena, priced at 4/7 with most betting sites. The draw is available at 4/1, with a huge away win for Leverkusen on show at 15/4.

Harry Kane has settled into life well in Germany and has even been seen donning a lederhosen and grabbing a few pints with teammates Thomas Muller and Alphonso Davies. On the pitch Kane has already netted three goals in his first three league matches and has very much continued his form from his 30-goal league campaign with Spurs in 2022/23.

We are backing Kane to find the net again against Leverkusen who despite having won all three matches have failed to keep a clean sheet against both Darmstadt and Red Bull Leipzig. This one is very much a price-play with a large differentiation in price between the bookmakers. BetVictor, Coral and 10bet all go just 1/2 that Kane scores on Friday, but with 4/5 on show with bet365 and Unibet, we think the latter is a price worth snaffling.

Our longshot for the game also features Harry Kane and we are backing him to register an assist in the match along with Leroy Sane scoring. In the 2020/21 season, Kane recorded more assists than any other player in the Premier League with 14 and then managed nine in the following campaign. He grabbed his first for Bayern on his league debut and with goals on the menu against Leverkusen we can think he can turn provider, just as he showed over the International break with a mouthwatering ball into Kyle Walker for England.

Leroy Sane has started the new term in good form for Thomas Tuchel’s side scoring twice against Augsburg as well as netting on the opening day of the campaign against Werder Bremen. Sane has let off 10 shots across his three matches so far and combining him to score with Kane to provide an assist in the match pays 11/2 with bet365.
