Bayern are looking to stay top of the league, while RB Leipzig are hoping to keep within touching distance of the top teams. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
RB Leipzig
After one win and two defeats, Leipzig come into this game in tenth place. These two early defeats have left many doubting Leipzig’s ability to win the Bundesliga this season. The team have been struggling following the loss of some very important players.
Leipzig were the third best home team last season, with only two defeats in 17 matches. They also conceded the fewest goals, with 32 goals in 34 games.
Out of 12 total meetings between the two teams, Leipzig have won only once.
Bayern Munchen
Bayern come into this game on the back of two wins and a draw. The Bavarians are, once again, favourites to win the Bundesliga, and clear favourites at that.
After the departures of two important players, Jerome Boateng and David Alaba, both from the defensive line, Bayern reinforced their squad with the arrival of Dayot Upamecano in defence and Marcel Sabitzer in attack, both from RB Leipzig.
Across the last seven meetings with Leipzig, Bayern have conceded just four goals.

RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munchen Predictions
Although, in theory, Leipzig are the second or third best team in the Bundesliga today (along with Dortmund), the start of the season has not been very good, and they are showing signs of weakness. Against a team of Bayern’s calibre, who have the ability to steamroll weaker teams, Leipzig could really struggle, and so we think Bayern will win this match.
