Bayern München vs RB Leipzig Preview
Bayern München
After suffering a surprising defeat against Mainz, Bayern are motivated to win the upcoming fixture against Leipzig. Vincent Kompany’s team demonstrated a lacklustre performance in the previous fixture, and even without Harry Kane, they need to bounce back immediately.
That said, the Bavarians will have a difficult time, as the hosts have a massive injury plague. The squad lacks the majority of key players, potentially affecting the eventual outcome. Harry Kane is one of the major absentees and has been the team’s top goalscorer.

The match against Mainz delivered a scarcity of creativity in the offence for Bayern. Despite having quality attackers, the Bavarians failed to achieve a positive result. This leaves them in first place, albeit Leverkusen are near, with only four points difference.
RB Leipzig
This season, Leipzig has experienced two different variations. In the Bundesliga, they’re among the leading contenders to challenge Bayern. However, they have suffered notably in the Champions League, losing all six matches.
The following results in the new Champions League edition were not expected. Nevertheless, the guests will try to deliver their best against the Bavarians. They now sit fourth in the table, six points behind their counterparts. Given their form, they are capable of grabbing the desired outcome.

Leipzig have been plagued by injuries recently, and key players have been left out. Yussuf Poulsen, Xavi Simons, and Elif Elmas are unlikely to feature, while Amadou Haidara and David Raum are also out of contention.
Bet hereBayern München vs RB Leipzig Prediction
- Pick: Over 3.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.89 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Bayern München 3-1 RB Leipzig
Both Bayern and Leipzig are known for their attacking style. Despite having problems in the Champions League, Leipzig scored even against high-tier opponents.
If we look at the H2H stats, we see that at least three goals have been scored in eight out of the ten previous encounters. The sides have displayed an attacking display, and we expect the same to happen in the upcoming game.

Bayern will lack support from Harry Kane, but it’s unlikely that the hosts will sit back. On the other hand, Leipzig will capitalise on their chances. We suggest placing a bet on more than 3.5 goals in the following match.
Bayern München vs RB Leipzig Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: 1.60 (22Bet)
Both Bayern and Leipzig lack consistency in their defence. They concede a goal in almost every game. In addition, seven of the previous eight H2H matches ended with both teams scoring.
This is a clash between two potential contenders, and we predict a fiery display from both clubs. After a disastrous Champions League performance, the guests will be determined to bounce back in the domestic championship.
Following their loss against Mainz, Bayern will want to gain an edge over their opponents. On the other hand, Leipzig’s key is to take advantage of the free space that their counterparts will give them. Our second pick for this game is for both teams to score.
