Our Tipsters Angle

Bayern Munich seems solid to win this game, but this is Bundesliga as anything can happen. RB Leipzig already knows that they need to start saving their season if they are to play in Europe next season. 

Bayern is not far from being caught up with, and will be looking to extend the gap at the top of the table. They have been in excellent form, and we think they will be hard to break down. 

Also, both teams are attack-minded, and we might see an attacking game for this match.

Below are our tips for this game:

Tip 1:  Bayern Munich to Win

Bayern Munich is currently too much to handle for most teams globally, and struggling RB Leipzig should not be hard for them to break down. Bayern has won 4 of their last 5 games in the Bundesliga, and with Dortmund on their heels, they know better than to drop further points. 

Also, Leipzig has dropped points to teams placed in the lower part of the league table as they continue to have inconsistent and unwanted displays.

At the Casumo Bookie, Bayern Munich to win is available at 1.44 odds.

Bayern scores a lot of goals, and Leipzig scores and concedes many goals. In the last 5 games played by Bayern Munich, they had over 2.5 goals outcome in 4 of those matches. Also, Leipzig has scored or conceded 2+ goals in their last 5 games in all competitions. 

Checking their H2H, there have been over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 clashes in all competitions. Bayern is expected to come at Leipzig with force, and Leipzig might score against them due to the attacking nature of both sides.

Conclusion

Bayern Munich should be too hot for Leipzig to handle. This exciting clash might have significant meaning for both teams. If Leipzig loses this game, they might drop down to the 9th position, and that is what they’d fight to avoid. 

Bayern needs to win this game to keep the distance between Dortmund respectable. Whichever outcome happens for this game, we are sure it will be very exciting to watch.
