Short Preview

As Bayer Leverkusen prepares to host Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal on April 22, 2026, the contrasting recent forms of both teams add intrigue to this encounter. Bayer Leverkusen has had a mixed bag lately, securing victory in only 2 of their last 5 matches, a trend that might concern their fans as they face one of Germany’s most formidable sides. Conversely, Bayern Munich is in exceptional form, having won all of their last 5 fixtures, showcasing a potent attack coupled with a resilient defense.

The bookmakers reflect this disparity, offering odds of 4.38 for a home win against a more favored away victory at 1.66 for Bayern. Probability metrics further illustrate this trend, with Leverkusen facing a daunting task, given only a 21.6% chance of winning according to model predictions.

Tactically, Bayern Munich’s ability to dominate possession and their high pressing game can stifle Leverkusen’s attacking ambitions. However, playing at home may provide Leverkusen with some advantage as they look to capitalize on any momentary lapses in Bayern’s defense. While Bayern appears the likely victor, the cup format often leads to surprises, leaving the outcome still very much in the balance.
