The visitors have several key players sidelined with injuries: Sacha Boey, Alphonso Davies, Josip Stanisic, Jamal Musiala, and Joshua Kimmich.

Leipzig vs Bayern Munich Prediction

  • Pick: Bayern Munich to win
  • Odds: -175 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Leipzig 0-3 Bayern Munich

We expect Bayern to come out on top. They’re much stronger than their opponents, as reflected by their position in the table. 

The German giants have also had a historical advantage over Leipzig for many years. They’ve gone undefeated in 20 of their last 23 meetings. Even away from home, their supremacy remains largely intact. Bayern have lost just once in their last 12 encounters at this venue.

Leipzig vs Bayern Munich Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Harry Kane to score
  • Odds: -125 (20Bet)

We expect Harry Kane to score. He already has 20 goals to his name this season and is expected to remain the league’s leading goalscorer. Kane will be helped out on the flanks by former Crystal Palace man Michael Olise. Olise has created 15 big chances, more than any other player in the Bundesliga this season. 

In addition to his 20 goals, Kane has also registered four assists. His xG is quite impressive at 13.80. The Englishman is in good form too, with three goals and one assist in his last five appearances.
