Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Preview

Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig

Competition – German Bundesliga

Stadium – Allianz Arena

Date: 19th December 2018

Kick-off time – 19:30 GMT

RB Leipzig travel to Munich hoping to build on their impressive 4-1 win over Mainz 04 at the weekend, while Bayern Munich will be looking to build on their 4-0 win at Hannover.  In any case, this game promises to be a cracker.

Bayern have had a poor start to the season and they are now chasing the league leaders for the first time in a long time, however, they recently found some form as they come into this game unbeaten in their last 5 games in all competitions.

Apart from their 3-3 draw at Ajax they have won the other four games in that period of time and they will be looking to get another win to keep them close to the top of the league table here.

Leipzig have had their own troubles this season, but two goals each from Timo Werner and Yousuf Poulsen helped them beat Mainz at the weekend and they will look to build on that here.

The Red Bulls have had it tough when they play away from home and come to Munich with an unenviable run of 4 straight losses away from home and the Allianz Arena is not exactly the place you would choose to end that run.

Bayern Munich are odds-on favourites to get the job done here while Goal markets point to an extremely lively game as over 3.5 goals is trading odds-on.

Robert Lewandowski is clear favourite with bookies to score the first goal.
