"Seven points separate Bundesliga leaders Bayern and fifth-placed Bayer Leverkusen. Based purely on the table, Saturday's meeting of the last two champions doesn't suggest an equal contest, but it's still a fixture between two of Germany's best teams right now. Leverkusen have earned 16 of a possible 18 points over the last six matchdays in the Bundesliga, which is a total only bettered by Bayern's perfect haul. Here's more stats and facts on why this weekend's game is very much a big fixture."
"Vincent Kompany 's side are enjoying a perfect season thus far. Boasting eight wins from eight and a goal difference of +26, it's the best record by any team in the history of the German top flight at this stage. The Reds have actually won their last 10 Bundesliga fixtures and are unbeaten in 17 going back eight months. The last of only two league defeats in the Kompany era - spanning 42 games - came at home to Bochum in March (3-2)."
"The Werkself come to Munich on a run of 37 Bundesliga away games without defeat (W25, D12), which surpasses the previous league record of 33 that Bayern set between 2012 and 2014. Leverkusen's last league loss on the road came at Bochum in the final match of 2022/23. That streak will now be put to the test at the Allianz Arena, where Bayern have won each of their last eight competitive fixtures by an aggregate score of 29-2."
