There will be intense pressure on Bayern Munich as they return to Bundesliga action this weekend. The German giants are in danger of being cut adrift in the race for the title, and a return to winning ways will desperately be required at the Allianz Arena against RB Leipzig on Saturday.
Bundesliga Preview
The pressure continues to mount on Thomas Tuchel, as the Bayern Munich boss is facing calls for his exit with a number of interim options having been weighed up. A return to form will desperately be required this weekend, as the German champions come into this round of matches sitting eight points off the pace in the race for the Bundesliga title.
Bayern have also suffered defeats in each of their last three matches across all competitions, and they are now just four points ahead of third-place Stuttgart. A damaging defeat was inflicted last weekend, as they fell to a 3-2 loss on the road against Bochum. The defeat means that Bayer have now lost back-to-back matches in the Bundesliga for the first time in four seasons.
RB Leipzig could pile the pressure on Bayern this weekend, as they come into this weekend in consistent form after winning two of their last three. They are also without a loss in their last three matches in the competition, and a victory could see them move into the Champions League positions this weekend.
Leipzig were very professional in their latest match in the competition, as they claimed a 2-0 home success against Borussia Monchengladbach. Xabi Simons opened the scoring in that victory, before the second goal was added by Lois Openda in the second period.
Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Head to Head
Leipzig are unbeaten across their last three matches in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich. They also landed a dramatic 3-1 victory in this exact fixture at the end of last season. The previous match this season saw the points shared following a 2-2 draw at Red Bull Arena.
Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Prediction
Something isn’t right at the Allianz Arena at present, and Bayern could be sent for another tough assignment this weekend. We fully expect Leipzig to score in this fixture, but Bayern could raise their game to land a much-needed three points to remain within touching distance of Bayer Leverkusen.
