Analysis and predictions for Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig: The Bavarians unleash their fury.

Latest team news for Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig

Bayern Munich suffered a major blow as Jamal Musiala sustained a serious ankle injury and will be out for several months. Michael Olise is expected to start in the number 10 role, while Luis Diaz and Serge Gnabry will support striker Harry Kane, who is looking for his first goal of the season.

In defense, new signing Jonathan Tah has quickly formed a good partnership with Dayot Upamecano, a duo who will guard Neuer's goal. Midfield will most likely remain Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka.

After selling Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United, RB Leipzig will place their faith in Lois Openda in attack. Xavi Simons could drop back to play as an attacking midfielder, supported by Nicolas Seiwald and Xaver Schlager in midfield.

The central defensive pairing of Castello Lukeba and Willi Orban – consistent choices over several seasons – will continue to be the cornerstone of Leipzig's defense in this challenging away match.

Latest football match prediction: Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig

Bayern Munich's 11-year winning streak ended after their defeat in the 2023-24 season, but under Vincent Kompany, they quickly reclaimed the title, earning 82 points last season – 10 points more than the previous year – and dethroning Leverkusen on their first attempt.

The 2024-25 season also saw Bayern's attack explode, scoring 99 goals – their second-highest tally since the 1972-73 season.

Despite being eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup quarter-finals in July, Bayern still entered the new season with the German Super Cup title, after beating Stuttgart 2-1 on August 16th. However, that final also highlighted problems in their defense, with Manuel Neuer having to make four crucial saves.

Bayern have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five official matches, a run of results comprising three wins and two losses. They finished last Bundesliga season with four wins in their final five games, but inconsistency at home at the Allianz Arena remains a concern, with two losses and one draw in their last four home games before winning their final two matches of the season.

RB Leipzig endured another forgettable 2024-25 season. They only managed 51 points – their lowest tally in nine Bundesliga seasons and 14 points less than their 2023-24 season. Their attack scored 53 goals and conceded 48 – the worst and second-worst in the club's Bundesliga history, respectively.

Coach Ole Werner made his official debut with a 4-2 victory against Sandhausen in the first round of the German Cup on August 16th. However, Leipzig has a poor head-to-head record against Bayern: they have not won in the last four matches, losing two.

At the end of last season, Leipzig failed to win in their last five Bundesliga matches (3 draws, 2 losses) and conceded three or more goals on three occasions. Their away form is a major weakness: they have only won 3 of their last 18 official away games, losing 10.
