Bayern to be too powerful for Leipzig at Allianz Arena
Bundesliga 2026/2027 second-placed Bayern Munich and 5th place RB Leipzig meet at the Allianz Arena on Saturday afternoon and the hosts look set to dominate once again. The Rekordmeister have won their last 3 games against Die Roten Bullen and have been in scintillating form across all competitions so far in 2026/2027, winning 3 and drawing 2 of their 5 games to date.
Tactical battle
Vincent Kompany's side are operating from a possession base, but their high-pressing style and control over the tempo also allows them to hit opponents on the counter when required. Leipzig have a similar pressing style but Martín Demichelis' men get compact while transitioning quickly to hit teams on the break. These two styles are poles apart but should create an interesting chess game.
Odds and predictions
The odds reflect the difference in quality between the two teams, with Bayern the heavy 1.27 favourites, Leipzig 9.5 and the draw priced up at a staggering 7.03. The hosts are clearly the better side and should have enough quality to retain the lead in this fixture, although the draw might be a good option in the three-way market if you fancy it.
Our preferred option is to back a home win and goals, which looks to be the value pick here at just odds on, rather than the more likely and much shorter odds on a home straight win. Over 2.5 goals looks a great value at 1.11 given the firepower in Bayern's ranks and the open, transition-heavy game Leipzig have to play to be effective.
A glance at the recent outings for both sides suggests goals are likely as Bayern have seen 13 goals in their last 3 Bundesliga 2026/2027 games while Leipzig have seen 13 in their last 3, so a few goals should land on Saturday.
Bayern beat SV Elversberg 2-1 away, crushed Union Berlin 7-0 at home and played out an exciting 2-2 draw away to Augsburg in their last 3 Bundesliga 2026/2027 outings.
