The Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig betting odds don't leave much room for doubt. The hosts are priced at -400 (BetMGM) on the moneyline for Saturday's Bundesliga clash at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern come in off back-to-back ties. The latest was a gut punch at Viking, where Herman Haugen leveled late after Michael Olise's red card. It's no slump, but it wasn't vintage Bayern either.
RB Leipzig arrive with real momentum after a 6-0 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt and a midweek Champions League win over PSV Eindhoven. Confidence won't be a problem on the road.
The head-to-head is lopsided, though. Bayern have won five of the last six meetings and tied the other, so Leipzig are still looking for their first win in that stretch.
Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Recent Results
Bayern are unbeaten in their last 20 Bundesliga games, so this is a speed bump, not a crisis. A tie with Augsburg in the Bundesliga and a 3-3 thriller at Viking in the Champions League came straight after a winning run. Harry Kane and Michael Olise are still the heartbeat of this attack.
Leipzig have won three of their last four games in all competitions. The rout of Frankfurt grabbed the headlines, but grinding out a 1-0 Champions League win over PSV Eindhoven says just as much. Clinical finishing is what this attack does best, and that's exactly what makes them dangerous here.

Jamal Musiala is unfit. Michael Olise will start despite his midweek red card against Viking, and Konrad Laimer is available again after missing the most recent Bundesliga game for personal reasons.
RB Leipzig
Martin Demichelis could stick with the same starting XI that beat PSV Eindhoven in midweek. Marc Guiu is out until November, A. Ouédraogo is injured and C. Baumgartner is unfit. On the plus side, Rocco Reitz is back in full training.
