DFB-Pokal Matchday Preview: Bayer Leverkusen vs. Bayern Munich: Match discussion, game time thread, odds, prediction, how to watch

Prediction

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.
