Can RB Leipzig throw the German Bundesliga title race wide open this weekend? It’s been a strong start for the home side who have claimed facile wins over Stuttgart and Augsburg when recording 5-0 and 3-1 victories respectively. In between those victories came a 3-0 win away to Union Berlin, with Young Boys also being defeated in the Champions League.
It’s all going well for the team who will fancy their chances of achieving a positive result, with Timo Werner proving the difference away to Monchengladbach, with Leipzig restricting their opponents to just one shot on target. Lois Openda has scored three times and the Belgian is likely to pose a threat to Bayern in this clash.
The visitors are likely to be a popular bet and they have already collected a couple of wins on the road this term. There was a 4-0 victory away to Werder Bremen before a 2-1 triumph at Borussia Monchengladbach, with Harry Kane firing a hat-trick when helping his new team achieve an excellent 7-0 win over Bochum.
This game is likely to be far more competitive and perhaps we’ll see Bayern win and both teams find the net. We expect the clash to be relatively high-scoring and we should bear in mind that there have been at least three goals scored in every game involving this team. It is worth noting that Leipzig did beat the same opponents in a Super Cup clash at the beginning of the campaign.
