Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Odds
Bayern Munich Team News
Bayern Munich returns to the Allianz Arena after two weeks marked by defeats in their last three matches against Leverkusen (3-0), Lazio (1-0), and Bochum in the previous round (3-2).
With the announcement of Thomas Tuchel’s departure at the end of the season, Bayern now faces a crucial match against RB Leipzig, which undoubtedly presents another serious challenge for the current German champions.
Trailing Leverkusen by a significant eight points at the top of the table, and with only 12 remaining rounds in the competition year, Bayern cannot afford further setbacks if they want to maintain hopes in the title race.
Tuchel’s team has shown significantly better performances in front of their home fans, with ten victories and only one loss in the last 12 games at the Allianz Arena. However, one of Bayern’s two home defeats this season occurred against RB Leipzig in August in the Super Cup final.
RB Leipzig Team News
On the other hand, Leipzig enters this match buoyed by a convincing 2-0 victory last weekend at the Red Bull Arena against Borussia Monchengladbach. Currently, with 40 points from 22 games played, they occupy the fifth position in the Bundesliga.
RB Leipzig is ten points behind the second-placed Bayern, but only one point behind the position that guarantees direct qualification for the group stage of the Champions League next season. Marco Rose’s team has experienced a run of inconsistent results, with two wins and four losses in the last seven matches across all competitions.
Leipzig has managed only one victory in their last six away Bundesliga matches. Five out of those six games witnessed goals on both sides with more than three goals scored. Considering Bayern’s recent struggles, a similar outcome is expected on Saturday.
