- Bayern München vs RB Leipzig: Rely on Lewandowski to Score
Match Preview
Bayern München face a fascinating clash with Bundesliga upstarts RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena on Saturday evening. With leaders Borussia Dortmund facing a trick clash at Hannover earlier in the afternoon, the incentive may be there for Jupp Heynckes’s side to take over on top. RB Leipzig will be no pushovers, however. They sit third in the table, just a point behind Dortmund and Bayern München.

RB Leipzig have won their last four games, including a 3-2 win at Dortmund, and come into this with the best form in the Bundesliga. They have also won three of their last four games on the road. While Ralph Hasenuttl’s side have lost two of their opening nine games, Bayern München have lost just once (at Hoffenheim), but the hosts also failed to beat Wolfsburg and Hertha Berlin.
Our Bayern Munchen vs RB Leipzig preview suggests the fact that the visitors have been solid on the road this season but may well succumb to one of Europe’s leading goal-scorers. We also highlight in our Bayern Munchen vs RB Leipzig predictions that in no less than 11 of 18 Bundesliga games involving these sides, three goals or more were scored.
Bayern Munchen vs RB Leipzig Prediction and Betting Advice
There is plenty at stake when second plays third in the Bundesliga. You would envisage a cagey game, therefore, with neither side wishing to lose. So why are the bookmakers pricing up such skinny odds for more than 2.5 goals to be scored in the game? You would ordinarily expect bigger odds than the general 4/11 or 1/3 offered by most firms.
The answer is simple: Both sides have plenty of goals in them. Bayern München have netted 22 goals in nine games, while RB Leipzig have managed 16, including three in their last road game at leaders Dortmund. The latest football odds see Bayern München as heavy favourites and there is little value in backing them against a team that is just a point behind at such skinny odds. Our free German football betting tips suggest a positive approach, as both sides are noted for their respective attacking policy. The bookmakers are obviously anticipating plenty of goals – so we should follow that lead. RB Leipzig scored seven goals in total in their last three away games, while Bayern Munchen netted 11 times in total in their last three home games. In last season’s two meetings, an average of six goals per game was recorded.
We, therefore, believe that one of the best Bayern Munchen vs RB Leipzig betting tips is to follow the makers and hope that four or more goals in the game will be scored. Ladbrokes offer reasonable odds for this scenario to take place.
There is often no need to get too adventurous with betting. If Bayern München are to beat RB Leipzig, then the goals will have to come from the usual supply-line and that means Robert Lewandowski. The Poland captain missed out on becoming last season’s top Bundesliga scorer by a single goal after failing to net in two of his last three games.
He scored against RB Leipzig in both meetings last term and has started the season in a rich vein of form, with nine goals in nine Bundesliga games. The added bonus is that the skipper also takes penalties. With Thomas Muller ruled out with a hamstring injury, the onus will be on the 29-year-old Lewandowski to deliver and he rarely disappoints.
While the Bundesliga football match odds for the Poland international to score at any time may look skinny, the bookies also see there being a few goals in the contest and for that reason, we take Lewandowski to be among those with their name on the scoresheet. Indeed, this appears one of the easiest Bayern Munchen vs RB Leipzig bets to profit from. Unibet appear to offer the fairest price in this market and we should indulge them.
