Latest football commentary Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig
Bayern Munich's 11-year title run ended after defeat in 2023-24, but under Vincent Kompany they quickly regained the crown, winning 82 points last season - 10 more than a year earlier - and dethroning Leverkusen at the 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 knocked out by Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup in July, Bayern still entered the new season with the German Super Cup title, after defeating Stuttgart 2-1 on August 16. However, that final also revealed problems in defense, with Manuel Neuer forced to make four saves.
Bayern have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five competitive games, a run that includes three wins and two defeats. They ended last season's Bundesliga campaign with four wins from their final five games, but their lack of consistency at home at the Allianz Arena remains a concern, losing two and drawing one of their last four games before winning two in a row at the end of the season.
RB Leipzig had another forgettable 2024-25 season. They only won 51 points - the lowest in 9 seasons in the Bundesliga and 14 points less than in 2023-24. The attack scored 53 goals and conceded 48 - the worst and second worst in the club's history in the Bundesliga.
Coach Ole Werner made his official debut with a 4-2 victory over Sandhausen in the first round of the German Cup on August 16. However, Leipzig has a poor record against Bayern: no wins in the last 4 matches, 2 losses.
At the end of last season, Leipzig did not win in the last 5 Bundesliga rounds (3 draws, 2 losses) and conceded 3 or more goals 3 times. In particular, away form is a major weakness: they only won 3 of the last 18 official away matches, losing 10.
