Xabi Alonso Driving Leverkusen to Success

In recent years, Leverkusen have improved heavily under the instruction of Xabi Alonso. The former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder has been instrumental in transforming the fortunes of the German club. This season, he has seen his team defeat RB Leipzig on the opening game of the season, before smashing M’gladbach and Darmstadt. Leverkusen scored three unanswered goals against M’gladbach before smashing five past Darmstadt. Nigerian forward Victor Okoh Boniface has already scored four goals in three games, an impressive feat for the young 22-year-old striker. Will Xabi Alonso be able to secure back-to-back league wins against Bayern Munich?

Harry Kane to Win it for Bayern

One of the best transfers in the summer was the Harry Kane saga in his move from Tottenham Hotspurs to Bayern Munich. The English forward leaves as the top scorer in Spurs’ history and the current leading scorer for his international kit. He was captain of Spurs and is also the current captain of the English national team. In his opening three games, Kane has already scored three goals and claimed an assist.

He became the record signing for the German champions who were in desperate need to sign a striker having failed to replace the departure of Robert Lewandowski. It is a tough fixture for the champions, especially as they begin their Champions League campaign next Wednesday against Manchester United.
