Prediction Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig

Bayern Munich are, as expected, at the top of the table, and look set to comfortably win the Bundesliga once again. Their efficiency and ruthlessness should be overestimated.

On the other hand, RB Leipzig is ranked 6th on the table. It has been an unstable season for the club, with a bad start to the campaign as manager Jesse Marsch was dropped. However, they seem to have achieved good form under Domenico Tedesco.

Bayern Munich should win.
