Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Bet Builder Tips, Betting Preview

French forward/midfielder Michael Olise has featured in all 11 of Bayern Munich’s Champions League games this season, 10 of which have been from the starting lineup. The former Crystal Palace man is one of the German club’s key attacking players, providing 5 goals and 2 assists in this illustrious competition but he has also notched his fair share of fouls.

Olise and teammate Konrad Laimer have committed 10 fouls each in the Champions League this season, more than any other Bayern Munich player, making for an average of 0.90 fouls per game. Despite being an attack minded player, Olise does plenty of work defensively for his team. The French international has attempted 10 tackles, 8 of which he has won, and 7 of those arrived in the German giant’s defensive third. We’re expecting Olise and co to have to work tirelessly in Tuesday’s 2nd leg if they are to protect their 3-0 aggregate advantage and see their way into the quarter-finals.

Leverkusen’s midfield general Granit Xhaka looks to be a great value selection to be fouled just once here, priced at 1.67 to do so. Xhaka was fouled twice in the reverse leg of this fixture and has been fouled at least once in all of his last five Champions League starts. His average rate of being fouled 0.99 times per 90 lines up perfectly with this selection.

Xhaka will likely be facing up against any of Goretzka, Kimmich, Musiala and Palhinha most of whom are quite strong targets for foul betting, with Goretzka and Musiala both averaging just around one foul per game.

Now, this wouldn’t be much of an acca if we weren’t to include the joint-second highest goalscorer in this season’s competition, Harry Kane. The England captain and Bayern Munich star has scored 9 times in 10 starts for the German giants and we’re backing the 31-year-old to take at least 3 shots against Leverkusen on Tuesday.

Kane has taken more shots than any other Bayern Munich player in the Champions League this season (33), and is currently averaging 3.47 shots per game in this club competition. The former Tottenham Hotspurs talisman boasts a shots on target ratio of 45.5% and that works out at 1.58 shots on target per 90 minutes. We only need Kane to take 3 or more shots on Tuesday for this tip to pay out and considering that the striker heads into this game on the back of 8 goals in his last 10 appearances across all competitions and boasts an xG of 7.6, we’re confident he will meet our expectations.
