Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | Pre-Season Friendly

The Bavarians are on a three-match winning run against Die Roten Bullen.

Bayern Munich will go head-to-head against RB Leipzig for their fifth club friendly contest ahead of the new season. These Bundesliga sides are going to square off at the Allianz Arena.

The Vincent Kompany-led side have now secured consecutive wins in their last three matches. They are coming in after taking down Aston Villa by a scoreline of 2-1 in their last matchup. It was a pretty controlling performance from the Bavarians.

Bayern Munich will now be looking to extend their winning run. They are undefeated in their last seven meetings against Die Roten Bullen. At home, their confidence levels will be on the higher side.

Martín Demichelis’ men have been a part of three pre-season games in their ongoing campaign. They have shown mixed efforts. Die Roten Bullen are coming in after facing a 0-2 defeat against Leeds United.

After an underwhelming performance, RB Leipzig will be eager to jump back to winning ways. Against Bayern Munich, it is going to be a tough outing for them.

Players to Watch

Luis Diaz (Bayern Munich)

The 29-year-old is coming in after scoring a crucial goal for Bayern Munich in their last pre-season fixture against Aston Villa. He fired the ball at the back of the net in the 73rd minute to double the lead. Luis Diaz continues to impress on the left flank for the Bavarians and will continue to play an important role in the final third.

Johan Bakayoko (RB Leipzig)

Despite failing to score a goal, Johan Bakayoko was one of the top performers for RB Leipzig. On the right wing, he was a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. The 23-year-old Belgian winger will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the Bavarians.
