Bayern Munich take on the visitors RB Leipzig in the round 15 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, December 20th at Allianz Arena (Munich).
Bayern Munich are strong but not without issues. The "Star of the South" hit a surprising low last season, failing to win any silverware in 2023/2024. Starting with a loss in the Super Cup and finishing third in the Bundesliga, it was a season to forget. The appointment of Vincent Kompany as head coach raised eyebrows, especially since he had just been relegated with Burnley in the Premier League. Kompany’s tenure hasn’t been without challenges—Leverkusen knocked Bayern out of the DFB-Pokal, and in the Champions League, they suffered defeats to Aston Villa and Barcelona. However, Bayern has otherwise performed strongly on the European stage, and in the Bundesliga, they've managed to dominate, with only a few draws marring their record. By late autumn, they had established a commanding lead in the league, only for a shock loss to Mainz in their most recent match.

RB Leipzig under Marco Rose, have had an uneven campaign. Last season, Leipzig delivered a solid performance, securing a Champions League knockout stage spot and finishing fourth in the Bundesliga, just behind surging Leverkusen and Stuttgart. However, this season has been tougher. A summer that saw more star players sold has taken its toll. In the Champions League, Leipzig experienced a disastrous group stage, culminating in six consecutive defeats and elimination from playoff contention after a 2-3 loss to Aston Villa. Domestically, Leipzig started well, even defeating previously unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen in their own stadium. But a poor November, with just one point from four matches—including a 1-5 home loss to Wolfsburg—exposed their vulnerabilities. Recent matches have shown improvement, with victories over Eintracht Frankfurt in both the league and DFB-Pokal, and a comfortable 2-0 win over Holstein Kiel.
Leipzig managed to avoid defeat in four consecutive matches against Bayern, but they lost 1-2 in Munich earlier this year. Bayern Munich enters this matchup as the clear favorite, especially at home. However, they have shown occasional vulnerability against well-organized and resilient opponents like Leipzig. Betting on Leipzig with a "+2 goal" handicap could be a smart choice, as the "Bulls" have the ability to keep the game competitive.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win with +2.0 handicap.
