Harry Kane went to Bayern Munich to win trophies although it could be that the former Tottenham man ends up with little to show for his first season in Munich. The German champions are starting to fluff their lines at the wrong time, with the team coming into this match off the back of three consecutive defeats in all competitions.
A 3-0 reverse against title rivals Bayer Leverkusen was a big setback and that was followed by a 1-0 Champions League defeat to Lazio. Following on from that was a 3-2 defeat at Bochum and there is now pressure on Bayern when they face a Leipzig team who will have nothing to lose when they play this game at the Allianz Arena.
Some will expect a reaction from Bayern who will dress themselves down after three straight losses. It’s inconceivable that we see the German champions beaten again and the betting odds suggest business as usual for Thomas Tuchel’s men. However, the visitors are in solid form and perhaps this is a good time to be playing this fixture.
Leipzig created lots of chances against Real Madrid in a recent Champions League encounter only to lose by a single goal, with the team having nine shots on target against Los Merengues. They come into this clash off the back of a 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach where they registered another nine shots on target compared to their opponents’ zero.
