Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig preview
The Germany giants will be eager to return to winning ways when they face RB Leipzig on Friday. The Bavarian giants are coming off a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Mainz last week, where they conceded two quick goals before a late strike from Leroy Sané, which turned out to be only a consolation. It was a rare slip for Bayern, as they have been dominant in the Bundesliga this season, and they will be determined to avoid back-to-back setbacks.
Despite the loss, Bayern remain at the top of the table with 33 points, four ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen. The defeat to Mainz was their first in the domestic league this campaign, and it serves as a wake-up call for Thomas Tuchel’s men. Facing a strong RB Leipzig side, Bayern will look to prove their resilience and strengthen their position at the summit of the Bundesliga.
RB Leipzig continued their strong form in the domestic league with a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend. The win keeps them firmly in the top four with 27 points, level with third-placed Frankfurt, who hold a superior goal difference. Leipzig will be eager to build on this momentum as they aim to close the gap on the teams above them and solidify their position in the Champions League spots.
