Ahead of the critical top-of-the-table clash, the Pharmacists gained a significant boost of confidence. They displayed their relentless spirit by coming back from a two-goal deficit, securing a thrilling 3-2 win over Stuttgart. This spectacular comeback guaranteed their spot among the top four teams in this year’s DFB Pokal.

Guided by Spanish strategist Xabi Alonso, the team persists in creating club history and displaying a resolve to win trophies in all areas. They distinguish themselves as the only club in Europe’s top-five leagues that haven’t experienced a loss in 30 games this season, due to an outstanding midweek comeback victory.

Leverkusen has been on an unstoppable run, accruing a remarkable 26 wins in all competitions, with only four draws. They are now just two games shy of equalling Bayern Munich’s unbeaten record of 32 matches. This accomplishment would be ideally topped off by defeating their direct title competitor on their home turf.

The league leaders, who currently hold a slim two-point advantage over their main opponents in the title race, understand that a win in Saturday’s match against the Munich giants could significantly boost their chances of clinifying their first-ever Bundesliga title. This is a plausible outcome given that Die Werkself previously secured four out of six possible points against Bayern in their recent two matches, which included a 2-1 victory at the BayArena last season.

Rather than participating in midweek cup commitments like the home team in Saturday’s match, defending champions Bayern Munich were able to use the time to thoroughly prepare for the crucial 90-minute game. This followed a disappointing second-round exit from the DFB Pokal, where they were surprisingly defeated 1-2 by third-division team Saarbrucken.

As they gear up for their toughest test in Germany, one that could either propel them to the pinnacle of premier league or abruptly end their title retention ambitions, the Bavarians have picked up pace. Following an unanticipated 0-1 defeat at their home ground against Werder Bremen on January 21st, they’ve bounced back powerfully, securing three consecutive league victories. They defeated Union Berlin, Augsburg, and finally, Borussia Monchengladbach in their most recent match.

The situation for Thomas Tuchel, the boss of Germany’s record winners, is extremely challenging. This is primarily due to his inability to field a full-strength squad, as several key players are sidelined. This will likely complicate their efforts to regain the top spot in the Bundesliga, especially considering their less than optimal recent head-to-head record against Leverkusen.

There’s no doubt, it’s bound to be a lively and entertaining contest from both sides, featuring an abundance of attacking talent, but Bayern’s recent instability coupled with personnel issues plaguing the Munich club should aid Xabi Alonso and his high-flying crew in extending their unbeaten record and finally shedding the irritating moniker of “Neverkusen.”
