RB Leipzig vs. Bayern Munich live stream: How to watch Bundesliga live online, TV channel, prediction, odds

Written by on September 29, 2023

Bayern Munich travel to RB Leipzig’s Red Bull Arena on Saturday for a German Bundesliga meeting between first and fourth with just one point between the two. Thomas Tuchel’s side are unbeaten while Marco Rose’s men have won four of their five games with just the one loss so far. RBL advanced in the DFB Pokal in midweek with a narrow 3-2 win over Bundesliga 2 outfit Wehen Wiesbaden while Bayern ripped into 3 Liga minnows Preussen Munster 4-0. Both sides have UEFA Champions League games coming up next week with Leipzig hosting defending champions Manchester City and then VfL Bochum within the space of a week. Bayern area way at FC Copenhagen before finishing domestic duties at home to Freiburg before the October international break. Leipzig did beat Bayern in the DFL Supercup to kick off the domestic season so Tuchel and his players will be out for some sort of revenge having lost some early campaign silverware there.

Potential Bayern XI: Ulreich; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Kim, Davies; Laimer, Kimmich; Sane, Muller, Musiala; Kane.

Prediction

Bayern were held to a draw by Leverkusen last time out and this promises to be another fairly even contest. A draw would be a good result for RB Leipzig but another win could take them above the Bavarians and possibly to top spot depending on results elsewhere. A goal-filled tie seems to be a strong shout. Pick: Leipzig 2, Bayern 2.
