Bayer 04 Leverkusen must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Bundesliga games here at BayArena.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky not having conceded a league goal in 232 minutes.

Happy days for Leverkusen in their previous game, a Bundesliga match away at Arminia Bielefeld (placed 16th) that ended with a 4-0 victory.

Before that match, a Europa League win away at Celtic.

FC Bayern München, who have the most scored goals (24) in Bundesliga, are happy with their away performances in the Bundesliga so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels. Momentum is building for FC Bayern München in their away games, having won their two previous outings.

The manager J. Nagelsmann was unhappy after their last game, a Bundesliga match played at their home ground Allianz Arena. München suffered a 1-2 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt (placed 13th). Leon Goretzka got a match rating of 7.83 in that game, top player of the team. Goretzka scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Prior to that match, a home win 5-0 against Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League.
