Bayern Munich v RB Leipzig Betting Preview – Premier League 21st December
This is a top of the table clash in the Bundesliga. There weren’t many people who would have called this game as having much significance at the start of the season. But because of Leipzig “doing a Leicester” in the German top flight, they are level with Bayern heading into this clash at the Allianz Arena in midweek and that makes this massively interesting. Will Bayern be able to take control heading into the winter break or is there another upset on the way in this unexpected title challenge from Leipzig?

Bayern Munich v RB Leipzig Betting Tips
What a great setup for the final round of matches in this year’s Bundesliga action. We have a top-two clash on Wednesday night as Bayern Munich and Leipzig are sat on 36 points each for Wednesday’s game. Remarkably they have both been going so well they are currently nine points ahead of third-placed Hoffenheim. Bayern Munich are running on a five-match winning streak across all competitions at the moment and they have won their last four Bundesliga matches in a row. That has been a big response from them after losing against rivals Borussia Dortmund back in November. Bayern have won their last two top-flight games to nil, scoring six goals in the process. But they have been conceding goals in general lately, and are a big 6/4 quote at Bet365 to win to nil in this one. Because of the threat of the visitors, there is a price of 4/5 on both teams to score in this one. Given that Bayern have two clean sheets only in their last seven Bundesliga games it could have appeal.
Bundesliga title favourites Bayern Munich have some world class talent in their ranks of course, particularly up front where they have Robert Lewandowski at a price of 8/15 at Bet365 in the anytime goalscorer market. They also have Arjen Robben as a 5/4 option and Thomas Muller at 6/5. Bayern Munich have posted an unbeaten W6 D2 record so far this season in the Bundesliga and have put up fantastic figures of 23 goals scored and just four conceded on home soil. They are a major force and they have been winning at half-time in five of their eight home games this term (D3). 62% of their home games this season have gone over the 2.5 goal line which is a price of 3/5 to happen in this meeting. This is the final round of matches in the Bundesliga in the 2016 calendar year before the winter break, then it returns on January 20th. Will Bayern Munich be able to stretch out a three point lead?
Think of Leicester’s brilliant Premier League season last term. It was incredible. RB Leipzig’s form this season in the Bundesliga is equally as good as they have matched Bayern all the way and are only second to them on goal difference. RB Leipzig have lost only one game this season in all competitions and it has simply been fantastic. They have posted a stunning W9 L1 record in their last ten Bundesliga matches. They just seem to keep going and after suffering their only loss so far, they bounced back straight away to winning ways. Only Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have scored more league goals than they have this season and only Bayern Munich have conceded fewer goals than they have. Top scorer for them in this season’s league campaign is Timo Werner who has netted nine goals so far and he is a price of 15/4 at Bet365 to score at any time in this one. What a stunning way to finish the year it would be for Leipzig if they could and three points here at the Champions-elect. In their away games this season they have gone W5 D2 L1 and the loss in that sequence came in their last away game out at Ingolstadt.

Bayern Munich v RB Leipzig Predictions
So what a cracking match we could have on our hands on Wednesday night. Will Leipzig be fearless in this one and take the game to Bayern? Most people will be expecting them to have nothing to lose in this one and that could make them dangerous. It is worth having a crack at both teams to score as Bayern have been leaking goals recently, but you would still have to side with Bayern’s strong home form to come through.
