But look at Bayern Munich at the moment, they have 10 injured players, their starting line-up and substitutes always have to be filled with someone from the youth. Players like Upamecano, Mazraoui, Sarr, Kimmich, Laimer, Coman and Gnabry are very good players, if they dont play then Bayern Munich is not so strong. This gives Leverkusen an advantage, they dont have so many injured players. Munich have a harder game this weekend, they play against Gladbach, Leverkusen play against Darmstadt. The following week is the deciding game, on February 10: Leverkusen vs Bayern.
10 injured players is not good news for them. The match against Gladbach may not be difficult enough but the match on February 10 is truly an important match and they must win that match to maintain any chance of winning the title at the end of the season. Because if Leverkusen wins then they will have a difference of 5 points and that is not good for Munich. I think Leverkusen will have an advantage because they won't have the pressure like Munich. But I predict the match will end in a draw if you look at the current performance of the two teams.
