RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich Prediction
The hosts will be without in-form attacker Christopher Nkunku. They have scored at least twice in their last seven home games in Bundesliga, and the trend should continue.
Munich have enjoyed a solid run in recent games and are expected to continue their fine form. As both teams are playing their first competitive game after more than two months, they might be a bit rusty.
Nonethelss, the visitors should have more than enough firepower to see themselves through.
