Bayern Munich weathered a whirlwind week that saw the German giants topple Real Madrid in a thrilling second leg of the Champions League final, then crush Stuttgart to clinch the club’s 35th Bundesliga title. The return of Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies has been offset by major injuries to Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl. Bayern will need to avoid major miscues in a tough road match against Bayer Leverkusen.

Leverkusen has dealt with a series of disappointing results, dropping points nine of the last 12 matches. After back-to-back wins over Wolfsburg and Dortmund, Leverkusen conceded a stoppage time penalty kick in a home loss to Augsburg over the weekend.

Bayern wins 3-1. Leverkusen will break the ice with a first half goal from a set piece. Bayern will lock down the possession for the rest of the game. Harry Kane will score in the first half, Jamal Musiala will add the game winner, and Michael Olise will push the game out of reach with one of his patented curlers from the top of the box. Leverkusen will fight for every blade of grass but Bayern will emerge victorious.

Odds: Bayern (-180), Draw (+400), Leverkusen (+400)
