Bayern Munich vs. RB Leipzig Odds
Game Preview
Bayern first played 2-2 in Augsburg, conceding the fastest goal in Bundesliga history, and then 3-3 against Viking in the UCL, also on the road. Olise received a red card, and the Bavarians pulled back from behind, though Bayern’s defense once again showed inconsistency.
Vincent Kompany will look to bounce back hard with a statement win, as his team already dropped 4 points in the domestic championship. Bayern looks ruthless at home, winning all three games with a combined goal difference of 17-1.
RB defeated PSV in the Champions League 1-0. This was the Bulls’ third win in their last 4 meetings, and in all of them Martin Demichelis’ crew kept clean sheets.
However, we need to point out that Leipzig plays terrible football away from home. Aside from a DFB Cup win over lower-tier Trier, they have three straight defeats, with a 2-9 goal difference.
Bayern Munich vs. RB Leipzig Head to Head
The Bavarians are unbeaten in their last 8 H2H games, with 7 wins, and have won their last 5 at home. In each of those matches, Bayern scored at least twice. Also, all but one of the events during this stretch were with Over 3.5 hits.
Bayern Munich vs. RB Leipzig Predictions
We all know who the absolute favorite is here. Bayern will triumph and cover a 1.5-goal spread because of its quality and RB’s poor road form.
