With Robert Lewandowski fresh off a record-breaking night of goals in the UEFA Champions League and Bayern Munich winning all four of their games under interim coach Hansi Flick, Bayer Leverkusen could be in for a long shift at the office at the Allianz Arena on Saturday (kick-off: 6.30pm CET/5.30pm GMT/12.30pm ET).
Match stats
- Lewandowski has scored 27 goals in 20 games in all competitions this season, including a league-high 16 in the Bundesliga.
- If Bayern win by four goals, Flick will have made the best start of any Bundesliga coach ever. The record after three games is nine points won with a goal difference of +11, which Willi Entenmann managed with VfB Stuttgart in 1986.
- Müller has the most assists in the league this season with eight. Dortmund pair Jadon Sancho and Thorgan Hazard have six apiece.
- Havertz, a doubt for this game, is just two matches away from becoming the youngest player with a century of Bundesliga appearances. The Leverkusen midfielder doesn’t turn 21 until June.
- Four Leverkusen players – Volland, Karim Bellarabi, Lars and Sven Bender – made their Germany debuts when Flick was Joachim Löw’s assistant coach.
- Leverkusen have kept Lewandowski from scoring in 12 of their 15 meetings with him. No club has shut the Pole out more often.
