Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Die Bayern will take on Die Rotten Bullen in Matchday 15 of the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich will look to bounce back when they take on the Red Bulls on Saturday night. Despite being the better team against Mainz they failed to get the win and Vincent Kompany showed his frustration in the press conference. Without Harry Kane, they looked clueless in front of the goal and missed a lot of chances.

But against Leipzig at home, they will surely look to give a tough challenge to get all three points. They showed little mercy in their past six matches at the Allianz Arena and will look to play similarly.

Marco Rose’s job has become much more difficult after many key players have got injured and now they travel to face the Bavarian giants. This will surely be a tough fixture for them, but they do have quality players who are capable of making a difference. The results have been up and down for RB Leipzig, who beat Kiel by 0-2.

Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 2-3 against Aston Villa and won 2-1 against Frankfurt. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Players to Watch

Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich)

The youngster is an absolute joy to watch. Musiala’s playing style as an attacking midfielder is characterised by his technical skills and versatility. He possesses excellent dribbling ability, which allows him to navigate through tight spaces and take on defenders with ease.

His passing and vision on the field are exceptional, as he constantly looks for opportunities to create scoring chances for his teammates. In 12 matches in Bundesliga, he netted eight goals and provided one assist. In UCL as well he scored twice and provided three assists.

Lois Openda (RB Leipzig)

Under Marco Rose’s system, Openda’s movement in both central and wide areas is very impressive. His physical abilities make him a good fit for an environment such as the Bundesliga. There is much more to Openda than his scoring skills.

He is an all-round player who is a fan favourite and has a high work ethic. His style is perfectly tailored for a Red Bull tactical philosophy which involves intense pressing. Openda will surely be a big threat for the Bavarian giants in the upcoming fixture.

In 14 Bundesliga fixtures, he scored six goals and provided three assists. In DFB-Pokal as well he scored two goals in two matches.
