Will the German record champions put the next exclamation mark?

Julian Nagelsmann is known for preparing very meticulously for the opposing clubs. The 34-year-old does not shy away from drastic tactical changes when analysis reveals weaknesses. The fact that the Bayern coach is now visiting the club he knows like the back of his hand should be a clear advantage for the German record champions

In addition, the Red Bulls have not yet really arrived in the new season. The reigning runners-up have only won one of their three league games so far and have an average of just 0.7 points against FCB. The odds for RB Leipzig against Bayern are correspondingly interesting for tip 2.

In addition, the Munich team brings a lot of momentum with it Most recently, there were two high victories in the cup (12:0 against Bremer SV) as well as in the league (5:0 against Hertha BSC), before the many international players also shone in the DFB kit. We therefore see a lot of value in RB Leipzig against Bayern in tip 2.

Whether or not the Reds will be back on top at the end of the 2021/22 season is, by the way, the big topic of this article: Deutscher Meister 2022 Prognose

Head to head: 1 – 4 – 7

Twelve times the two teams have faced each other in a competitive match so far and only once has RB Leipzig been able to defeat the German record champions. Last season, the Red Bulls held the Munich side to a 3-3 draw in the first leg, but were also beaten 1-0 by the FCB in their last home match to date.

Germany RB Leipzig – Statistics & current form

RB Leipzig were promoted to the Bundesliga in the summer of 2016 and quickly established themselves in the top flight. The high-flyers have finished the past five seasons in the top third of the final table, with the Red Bulls qualifying for the Champions League group stage for the fourth time this year.

However, before they travel to Manchester City for a tough away game in the top flight next Wednesday, the squad led by former Salzburg man Jesse Marsch, who took over for Julian Nagelsmann in the summer, must avert a false start against the reigning champions of all teams.

Only one defeat in last ten league home games

The Saxons have already lost two of their first three league games and are currently in eleventh place. Although this is not very meaningful, it does cast some doubt on their competitiveness following the departure of key players such as Dayot Upamecano, Marcel Sabitzer and Ibrahima Konaté.

Against FCB, the Red Bulls now have it in their own hands to nip such doubts in the bud with an appropriate result. Considering that there has only been one defeat in the last ten league home games at the Red Bull Arena, the chances are basically there. However, that game was lost in April 2021 by the current guests from the Bavarian capital

On average, only 0.7 points from the duels against Bayern

The Saxons are encouraged by the signing of Eintracht star striker André Silva, who is the first real top-flight player since the departure of Timo Werner a year ago. However, the fact that key players such as Marcel Halstenberg are still missing due to injury does not exactly ensure that RBL will be able to shake off their role as outsiders.

Predicted line-up of RB Leipzig:

Gulasci – Gvardiol – Simakan – Orban – Klostermann – Haidara – Adams – Nkunku – Forsberg – Olmo – Silva

Germany Bayern – Statistics & current form

FC Bayern München initially had to go through a very complicated preparation under new coach Julian Nagelsmann. The Reds remained winless in their test matches as well as in their competitive debut in Mönchengladbach (1:1).

Then, however, the FCB secured the Super Cup with a convincing 3:1 away win at Borussia Dortmund and has won every single competitive match since then. They currently have four wins in a row with a total of 23:3 goals on their record, although this is also coloured by the 12:0 victory in the cup against fifth division side Bremer SV.

Since three league away games in a row without a win

The Reds were as dominant as ever in their recent 5-0 win over Hertha BSC.

They thus increased their points tally to seven. At least in league play, however, the Reds have not been able to win too much away from home lately.

For the first time since the 2011/12 season, the FCB remained winless in three consecutive league away games. It plays all the more into the German record champions’ hands that not only coach Nagelsmann knows today’s hosts very well, but also Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer, who can chat from the inside.

Lewandowski continues to score at will

Robert Lewandowski, meanwhile, certainly needs no further instruction. Not only has the Pole already scored seven times in his career against the Red Bulls, making him the top scorer in this duel. The 33-year-old also scored an incredible five goals in the first three league games of the still young season.

Even in conjunction with the worst Bundesliga start of all time for the Saxons, almost everything speaks for a bet on an away win for the Nagelsmann team in RB Leipzig against Bayern.

Predicted Bayern line-up:

Neuer – Hernández – Süle – Upamecano – Stanisic – Goretzka – Kimmich – Musiala – Müller – Gnabry – Lewandowski

When it comes to RB Leipzig vs Bayern, the prediction does have to take into account that the German record champions have failed to win any of their last three league away games. Ultimately, however, that is just a number, as is the Saxons’ dismal points average, which against the FCB averaged just 0.7 points per league match More decisive is certainly the fact that Julian Nagelsmann in particular knows the strengths and weaknesses of the Red Bulls well.

Also because of the Saxons’ mixed start, having lost two of their first three league games, we see a lot of value in betting on the Munich side to win away.
