Bundesliga: Kane eyes victory for Bayern against Leverkusen in top spot showdown

Harry Kane hopes to help Bayern Munich win their much-anticipated match against Bayer Leverkusen in Bundesliga top spot showdown.

The clash presents an opportunity for the English striker to break his trophy drought and help seal the top spot Bayern.

Despite scoring his 24th Bundesliga goal in Bayern’s recent 3-1 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach, Kane’s team still trails league leaders Leverkusen by two points.

While Kane continues to chase Robert Lewandowski’s 41-goal record, his primary goal remains winning a major trophy with Bayern Munich.

The upcoming clash against Xabi Alonso’s team is a crucial one, as Leverkusen is aiming for an invincible Bundesliga season, having secured a 2-2 draw against Bayern with a late penalty equalizer from Exequiel Palacios in their first encounter.

Leverkusen, however, faces challenges with some of their stars out due to injury and international duty.

Odilon Kossounou remains unavailable due to Ivory Coast’s progression to the Africa Cup of Nations final. They are also concerned about the fitness of Victor Boniface, Exequiel Palacios, and Arthur.

The high stakes clash is scheduled for today, Saturday, February 10, at the BayArena at 6:30 pm Nigerian time.
