Bayern München - RB Leipzig predictions

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.72 bring great value considering the fact that Bayern München are indeed firm favourites to defeat RB Leipzig.

RB Leipzig appear severely unprepared for a clash with Bayern, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.59 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Bayern are coming off from an away disappointment against Bochum in the last round. They were seen as firm favourites to claim three points but ended up suffering a narrow 3:2 defeat.

RB Leipzig have shown to know how to seize an opportunity and keep it going. Just last round they secured a solid 2:0 in a home game against Borussia M'gladbach. Being hard favourites with odds of 1.39 on a home win, they easily took the lead in the first half and kept the upper hand until the end.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Team from Leipzig fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 7 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

Leipzig likely have ambitions to move up a few spots and try to go for a Champions League qualification. With almost half the season ahead of them, it’s not impossible. However, most betting predictions agree that this is not a good matchup for them, and securing even a single point could be considered a success.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

They may be favoured to win, but the home team are still playing at an extreme disadvantage because a lot of their players suffered an injury recently. Bouna Sarr, Noussair Mazraoui, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Tarek Buchmann, Tom Ritzy Hülsmann, Aleksandar Pavlović, Sacha Boey will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

Decent offers are in short supply for this match, so our best tip is to risk an HT/FT bet and go for Draw/Home. It’s quite a bold offer to take at odds of 1.69, but the betting value makes it interesting.
