Bayern Munich take on the visitors Red Bull Leipzig in the round 16 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 21st at Allianz Arena (Munich).
Bayern Munich are taking one win after another in domestic league and they are currently on five-match winning streak with 12-3 on aggregate goal difference. However, the team isn’t that solid as they were at the start of the season. Only struggling Wolfsburg were defeated confidently, 5-0, while other wins were taken in difficult battles. For instance, the most recent match against league lowly Darmstadt ended only with 1-0 win of the titleholders. However, the team is first in the league after 15 matches, gaining 36 points, just like their opponents. Bayern haven’t lost a single home match, taking 20 points in eight games with 23-4 goal difference.

Leipzig continue to impress and unexpected 0-1 loss to underdogs Ingolstadt was covered with confident 2-0 win over solid Hertha Berlin. Newly-promoted side continue challenging the champions Bayern and sit right behind them in the league with the same 36 points gained and excellent 31-12 goal difference. We should also note that the Red Bulls have the best away record in the league, taking 17 points in eight matches with 17 goals scored and seven allowed.
The opponents face one another for the first time as Red Bull was founded only seven years ago. The head-to-head will decide who wins the first part of the season. Of course, the hosts are obvious favorites and high position of the visitors should motivate Ancelotti’s men to show their best football.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win.
