Lewandowski can get Bayern Munich off to a flyer

BT Sport 3, from 5.30pm Wednesday

Bayern Munich v RB Leipzig

7.30pm

Bayern Munich have steadied the ship under Niko Kovac but they still have work to do if they are to catch Dortmund at the top of the table and RB Leipzig could make life difficult for the Bavarians.

• Bundesliga standings

But Bayern are the likely winners and Robert Lewandowski could be the man to fire them to victory. The Polish hitman has scored 22 goals in as many games this season and looks value to open the scoring.

Recommendation
R Lewandowski to score first
1pt 5-2 BoyleSports

Key stat
Robert Lewandowski has scored five goals in his last three games.

Schalke v Leverkusen

5.30pm

Schalke are not performing to the same level as last season but they have been in decent nick at home and could have enough to beat Leverkusen.

The hosts have won four of their last five matches in Gelsenkirchen, only losing the Revierderby in a narrow 2-1 defeat against league leaders Dortmund, and could continue to go well against an inconsistent Leverkusen team.

Recommendation
Schalke
1pt 31-20 BetBright

Key stat
Schalke have lost one of their last five home matches.
