Leipzig vs Bayern: Preview, free tip and statistics

10.09.2021 11:00

To conclude the German Bundesliga round on Saturday night, the giants Bayern Munich will take on RB Leipzig.

Basic information, news and team form

Leipzig are not doing well so far this season. Although they beat Sandhausen 4-0 in the first round of the German Cup to start the new season, they lost 1-0 at the ground of Mainz in their first tough league match. In their next home game, they managed to beat Stuttgart 4-0 after goals from Forsberg, Silva and new signing Szoboszlai from friendly Salzburg, but in their next away game, the Marsch-led side again failed to win, falling 1-0 to Wolfsburg.

Bayern also failed to put in a world-class performance at the start of the season. Bayern failed to beat a single opponent in pre-season and only drew 1-1 in their opening league match at Monchengladbach. In the Super Cup, however, it was already good old Bayern who, together with Lewandowski, managed to beat their rivals from Borussia 3-1. The game against Cologne followed, which ended in a 3-2 win, but it was clear that Bayern's defence is still searching for itself after the departures of Alaba and Boateng.

 

 

Betdoin's view of the match 

The bookmakers priced the home side to win at odds of 3.12, the draw was priced at odds of 3.8 and Bayern as away favourites at odds of 2.24. The goal line moved from over 2.5 to over 3 at odds of 1.75. If we look at the last 5 matches we can see that with a few exceptions not many goals are scored in these duels and the football is rather defensive. Another factor will be that the new Bayern manager, who came for a record amount from Leipzig, will know his former team well and can adapt his team's tactics accordingly. Our clever algorithm therefore sees value in betting on the away side without a draw instead of a goal, for example.

 

 

Absentees and estimated line-ups 

Leipzig will continue to miss the long term injured trio of players - Halstenberg, Raebiger, Saracchi. The reinforcement from the last transfer deadline day - Ilaix Moriba, who arrived on a permanent transfer from Barcelona should already be available, but his start in the starting line-up is not expected.

Bayern will miss French duo Kingsley Coman and Benjamin Pavard, who are troubled by thigh and ankle injuries.

Leipzig - estimated line-up:

Gulacsi - Klostermann, Orban, Simakan, Guardiola - Adams, Haidara; Szoboszlai, Forsberg, Nkunku - Silva

Bayern - estimated line-up:

Neuer - Stanišić, Upamecano, Sule, Davies - Kimmich, Goretzka - Gnabry, Müller, Musiala - Lewandowski
