Bitesize Prediction: Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig – 12/08/23

Competition: German Super Cup

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 2/3 @ 1xBet

With the German Super Cup up for grabs on Saturday night, Bayern Munich will welcome RB Leipzig to the Allianz Arena for what should be an action-packed affair.

Starting with the hosts, producing what was a stunning final weekend performance back on May 27th as they somehow retained their Bundesliga crown, Bayern Munich will be hoping for a smoother ride this time around. Eventually winning four of their final five Bundesliga appearances and edging past Borussia Dortmund, Thomas Tuchel’s men should take plenty of positives away from their pre-season preparations. Signing off their summer adventure with an action-packed 4-2 friendly win against French heavyweights Monaco, the one-time Chelsea boss will be desperate for his superstar squad to make an early statement here. However, while Bayern might hold a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, Tuchel is desperate for his side to find some much-needed defensive resolve. It should be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts managed to muster just a pair of clean sheets from any of their final nine appearances across all competitions. On a similar note, Bayern saw six of their final eight showdowns at the Allianz Arena finished with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while RB Leipzig might have been disappointed after only collecting a bronze medal finish last season, Marco Rose’s men once again gained a string of plaudits. Along with being crowned DFP Pokal champions back on June 3rd thanks to a 2-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, the one-time Borussia Dortmund boss saw his squad win each of their final seven domestic matchups across all competitions. With that run highlighted by a 4-2 victory against Schalke, the Whites also gained a reputation for their performances in the final third. Despite being tipped as an underdog pick when they travel to the Allianz Arena this weekend, Leipzig should be excited by their most recent meeting against the reigning German champions. Landing a 3-1 romp when they travelled to Munich back on May 20th, neutrals could be treated to another thrilling affair on Saturday night. With each of the last five meetings between Saturday’s opponents seeing both teams find the net, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
