Leipzig vs Bayern Munich Preview and Team News

Leipzig Team News

Leipzig’s chances of reaching the Champions League group stage were hampered significantly when they were thrashed by Eintracht (4-0) in the last round. Zsolt Lőw’s men were reduced to ten in the second half, and their opponents added another three goals.

This leaves Leipzig in fifth place with 49 points, two behind Freiburg. While nothing is over yet, they have a tough schedule ahead. At the same time, Dortmund are nearing the Champions League spot.

El Chadaille Bitshiabu was sent off and will be suspended for the upcoming event. Peter Gulacsi, Benjamin Henrichs, Willi Orban, and Xaver Schlager are sidelined. 

Leipzig predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich

Leipzig predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich: (4-4-2): Vandevoordt; Lukeba, Raum, Geertruida, Klostermann; Baumgartner, Seiwald, Baku, Simons; Sesko, Openda. 

Bayern Munich Team News

Bayern moved even closer to claiming the Bundesliga trophy after beating Mainz confidently (3-0) in the last round. Michael Olise and Leroy Sane gave their team a comfortable lead, and Eric Dier added a third in the second half.

If they take the victory against Leipzig, they’ll be guaranteed champions. Sadly for Harry Kane, who’s yet to grab his first major club trophy, he will not be available following a yellow card he picked up against Mainz. 

Dayot Upamecano, Manuel Neuer, Jamal Musiala, Hiroki Ito, Alphonso Davies, and Raphael Guerreiro won’t be fit for Saturday’s clash. There are no other worries for Vincent Kompany’s side.

Leipzig vs Bayern Munich Prediction 

• Pick: Bayern to Win
• Odds: 1.64 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Leipzig 1-3 Bayern Munich

Bayern have won two consecutive games against Leipzig. We can even remember the previous meeting, which ended with them scoring five goals.

The hosts are struggling, and this season has indeed been below par for them. With defensive frailties and left with an interim coach, they are likely to have problems countering the visitors’ fast and agile attackers. 

After failing to win another Bundesliga title during the 2023/24 season, Bayern are almost guaranteed to become champions this campaign. We think the visitors won’t miss this opportunity and win convincingly. 

So, our first pick here would be Bayern to win. 

Leipzig vs Bayern Munich Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 3.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.92 (22Bet)

The clashes between Leipzig and Bayern have always delighted the fans with plenty of goals and exciting moments. These clubs have regularly exchanged goals, and the majority of their matches have seen four or more goals scored.

Even in the absence of Harry Kane, who is leading the goalscorers list with 24 goals, Bayern have enough firepower in their attack. In Leipzig, the major burden will come down on Benjamin Sesko and Xavi Simons. The latter is the key man in the midfield.

With both teams having their goals, we expect a high-scoring affair and intense competition. Our second pick in this fixture would be over 3.5 goals.
