Match Time | 17:30 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Munich, Allianz Arena |
Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig brings together the two highest-scoring sides in the Bundesliga, and with these attacks on show at the Allianz Arena, nobody is expecting a stubborn stalemate.
Bayern sit third but arrive off back-to-back draws. The Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig betting odds barely flinch, with Coral pricing the hosts at 1/4 to get back to winning ways.
Leipzig are fifth, and former Bayern defender Martin Demichelis has them buzzing after a strong week. Still, Betfred's 11/1 shows how few fancy an away win in Munich.
History is firmly on Bayern's side. They have won five of the last six meetings with Leipzig, drawing the other, and the visitors have not won any of them.
Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Form
Bayern have followed a winning run with consecutive draws, at Augsburg in the Bundesliga and against Viking in the Champions League, where a late Herman Haugen goal made it 3-3 after Michael Olise was sent off. Even so, they are unbeaten in their last 20 Bundesliga matches, and Olise and Harry Kane remain the men who make this attack tick.
Leipzig have won three of their last four in all competitions. They thrashed Eintracht Frankfurt 6-0 in the Bundesliga before edging past PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. Their finishing is a genuine strength, but the away form is the worry, with both of their opening Bundesliga away fixtures ending in defeat.
Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Bayern Munich: Jamal Musiala (Injured/out), Manuel Neuer (Injured/doubtful)
RB Leipzig: A. Ouédraogo (Injured/out), Marc Guiu (Injured/out), C. Baumgartner (Injured/out)
Bayern Munich
Neuer's fitness is the big call in the Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig lineups. Vincent Kompany will make a late decision on the goalkeeper, who was only fit enough for the bench in the Champions League. Michael Olise will start despite his midweek red card against Viking, Konrad Laimer is available again after missing the most recent Bundesliga game for personal reasons, and Jamal Musiala is unfit. Bayern's probable XI lines up in a 4-2-3-1.
RB Leipzig
Martin Demichelis could stick with the same starting XI that beat PSV Eindhoven in midweek, which makes Leipzig's probable XI fairly easy to read. Marc Guiu is out until November, A. Ouédraogo is injured and C. Baumgartner is unfit, but Rocco Reitz is back in full training.

Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Bayern Munich 3-2 RB Leipzig. This Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig prediction backs the hosts, with Kane and Olise carrying too much threat for a Leipzig defence that struggles to stop teams carving it open. Leipzig's finishing means they will not go quietly, so expect a messy, open game rather than a stroll.
Best Bets
Over 3.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Bayern's home games and their meetings with Leipzig have produced plenty of goals. Over 2.5 goals is a regular feature of this Bayern side, turning up across the vast majority of their Bundesliga outings this season, and the head-to-head with Leipzig tells the same story. Asking for a fourth goal here is hardly a stretch.
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Leipzig have the attacking quality to find a goal at the Allianz Arena, and Bayern should score freely. Leipzig's finishing is one of their standout strengths, and their Bundesliga games have been running at a similarly high goal count. Bayern are not at their best at stopping opponents getting at them, which makes this the natural partner to the goals angle in our Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig best bets.
Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Bet Builder
Our Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig bet builder tips lean into the Bayern attack: home corners, Kane shots, an Olise shot on target and Kane to score anytime.
Bayern Over 8.5 home corners. Their last five Bundesliga matches have all brought 9 or more corners, and attacking down the wings is one of their biggest strengths.
Harry Kane Over 3.5 shots. Kane has been good value for 4 or more shots across his recent Bundesliga outings, and everything Bayern build ends up going through him.
Michael Olise Over 0.5 shots on target. Olise has consistently found the target in his last five Bundesliga appearances, and he will start despite his midweek red card.
Harry Kane anytime goalscorer. Kane has a habit of scoring against this opponent, finding the net in four of his last five meetings with RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, and this defence has rarely found an answer to him.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 15/4 and is as short as 18/5 elsewhere.

Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Talking Points
Harry Kane is in line for his 100th Bundesliga appearance for Bayern, and against a Leipzig back line that leaks openings, it would be no surprise to see him mark it on the scoresheet. The other milestone hangs on Kompany's late call: if Manuel Neuer plays, he becomes the oldest player ever to appear for Bayern in the Bundesliga, breaking Bernd Dreher's club record. Kompany insists his side are "not far off our best version" despite shipping five goals across the draws with Augsburg and Viking. Against a Leipzig side that finishes this well, that claim gets a proper test.
