RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Die Roten Bullen failed to score for the first time since March last week and will look to return to goalscoring ways in this home game. They have registered just one win in the Bundesliga against Bayern, with that triumph registered away from home in 2023.
Willi Orbán, Benjamin Henrichs, Xaver Schlager, and Antonio Nusa are sidelined with injuries, while El Chadaille Bitshiabu will serve a suspension. Péter Gulácsi was absent against Frankfurt and faces a late fitness test.
The Bavarians have won four of their last five league games, scoring 15 goals, and will look to build on that form. They are unbeaten in their travels in 2025 in the Bundesliga, winning five of the seven away games.
The league's top scorer Harry Kane is suspended for this match after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season last week. Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, and Dayot Upamecano will miss this match due to injuries, while Raphaël Guerreiro and Manuel Neuer are doubts.
Bayern head into the match in great form and considering their impressive away record in this fixture, we back the league leaders to eke out a narrow win.
