Unbeaten league leaders Bayern Munich visit Saxony for a heavyweight Bundesliga clash.
The Red Bull Arena is set for a massive game this Saturday. RB Leipzig host the league-leading Bayern Munich in a match that should produce plenty of goals.
Vincent Kompany’s Bayern side head to Saxony with an unbeaten record that has the rest of the league on edge. They recently thrashed VfL Wolfsburg 8-1 before a tough 3-1 win over Cologne pushed their lead at the top to 11 points.
RB Leipzig currently sit third but have their work cut out for them against a Bayern team that can’t stop scoring. Ole Werner took over in June 2025 and needs to get his players back on track after some mixed results. The team lost to Bayer Leverkusen recently but managed to bounce back with a win against Freiburg.
The home side is counting on Willi Orban’s leadership in defence and Yan Diomande’s creativity to mess with Bayern’s flow. On the flip side, the visitors have the most dangerous attack in the league. Harry Kane is as sharp as ever, and 17-year-old talent Lennart Karl has been the talk of German football lately.
Saturday’s kickoff is about more than just three points. It’s a real test of whether Leipzig can actually compete with the best in the league. While Kompany’s men are trying to break points records, Werner’s squad is fighting to stay in the top four.
Fans are expecting a high-energy battle where smart tactics meet pure attacking talent.
