Preview: Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | DFB-Pokal 2025-26

The Bavarians have already defeated the Red Bulls twice this season.

Bayern Munich are now going to have a face-off against RB Leipzig in the quarterfinals of the 2025-26 DFB Pokal. The Allianz Arena will witness this entertaining clash between these clubs.

The Vincent Kompany-led side have recently seen a minor dip in their form. After a loss against Augsburg and a draw against Hamburger SV, Bayern Munich made a comeback to secure a 5-1 win against TSG Hoffenheim in their last Bundesliga outing. It was a top-notch performance by the Bavarians and they will not be looking to secure a semi-final spot in the German cup competition.

RB Leipzig continues their inconsistent run of performances and the upcoming DFB-Pokal game is going to be a tough one for them. They have lost to the Bavarians twice already this season and will be under pressure for their next one. The Red Bulls have scored one goal and have conceded 11 in their last two meetings against Bayern.

Players to Watch

Luis Díaz (Bayern Munich)

The 29-year-old is coming in after scoring a sensational hat-trick in the previous game for Bayern Munich. He will be gearing up to help his side in the attacking front yet again and is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. Luis Diaz has performed well for his side in the last three matches and will be looking to come up with another top performance.

Christoph Baumgartner (RB Leipzig)

Christoph Baumgartner is going to be a crucial aspect of the squad for RB Leipzig. He scored a match-winning brace for his side in the previous Bundesliga matchup. The 26-year-old can control the midfield well and is also capable of scoring goals. With the ball at his feet, Baumgartner will surely cause issues for the hosts.
