THE PREDICTION
Bayern Munich have not been at their imperious best in the last couple of weeks but they are a team who know all about delivering in the big games, and there are not many bigger games in the Bundesliga than this one. Recent meetings between these two sides have been cagey, low-scoring affairs, with the last three in the league all ending in draws and producing just two goals in total. Both will be desperate to avoid defeat. RB Leipzig boast the meanest defence in the division and will look to frustrate Bayern again, but before Wednesday’s Champions League win at Istanbul Basaksehir, Julian Nagelsmann’s men had scored just one goal in their previous four away outings in all competitions. They have also never scored at the Allianz Arena in four previous attempts, so expect it to be another tight contest between the top two.
