Leipzig steps into this match, riding a wave of confidence, having faced defeat only once in all competitions this season. That solitary setback, a 3-2 loss to Leverkusen, still saw them scoring twice.
Given Bayern’s defensive vulnerabilities this season, conceding more goals than Leipzig, it wouldn’t be surprising to see The Red Bulls find the net at least twice in this encounter. The Bavarians let in three goals against Man Utd during their Champions League opener. Add to this the absence of Manuel Neuer and experimental options on the right flank, and it’s plausible they’ll let in two or more goals when they face off at the Red Bulls Arena.

Both teams are proven free-scoring sides with a lot of attacking talents. Bayern will be keen to make amends for their earlier defeat, while Leipzig will look to challenge and win this tie. Given the stakes, we anticipate a high-scoring opening half, with over two goals being a solid bet for anyone looking online. If there are precisely two goals by halftime, many bookmakers will offer a refund.

Harry Kane has been on a blistering form for the Bavarians since joining from Spurs during the summer. The gifted English forward stands second in the league’s top scorers list with seven goals. While he didn’t score against Leipzig in the Super Cup after coming off the bench, his recent hat trick against Bochum for his new team should boost his confidence for this encounter. These options are our RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich betting predictions.
Leipzig will miss the service of Dani Olmo, who picked up an injury during international duty with Spain. The Spanish attacker scored all three goals against Bayern in their last encounter. Willi Orban and Amadou Haidara are other players on Leipzig’s injury list.
Neuer will still be sidelined for Bayern due to injury, with Raphael Guerreiro the only outfield player still injured. Apart from these two, the Bavarian will have a solid team to feature in this match. Musiala, Coman, and Sane are all fit for the showdown.
With the current form of Leipzig and their recent excellent performance against Bayern, they should be able to net two goals if they don’t get the win against Harry Kane’s side, who is also favored to get on the scoresheet.
