Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig prediction 20.12.2024 | Bundesliga

• Competition: Bundesliga
• Date: Friday, 20th December, 2024
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
• Venue: Allianz Arena (Munich)

Bayern Munich had a poor last season, finishing the year without a single trophy, which rarely happens. This year, even though they are not as dominant as we are used from them, they are still doing an ok job. In the Bundesliga, the Bavarians are in the top spot with a four-point advantage over last season's champs, Bayer Leverkusen. In the CL, they are on the path of securing the next stage. On the other hand, they did disappoint in the Cup after Leverkusen eliminated them in the 1/8 Finals.

Since their promotion to the Bundesliga in 2016/17, RB Leipzig instantly became one of the best teams in Germany. This year, they are once again doing well in the Bundesliga and are in fourth place, just two points away from second place. However, their performance in the Champions League has been atrocious, considering they are one of the only three teams still without a point in the first six rounds.

Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig pick: Under 3.5 goals

Bayern Munich are in mediocre form, winning just two out of the last five games in all competitions. We saw them dominate teams like Shakhtar Donetsk and Heidenheim, but against better teams, they struggled to score. In the last nine games, Bayern Munich scored one or zero goals on six occasions. So, we do not expect them to offer some great offensive performance against one of the better defensive teams in the league.

RB Leipzig are among the best teams in the league for this type of bet. Only Mainz, St. Pauli, and Union Berlin had more games with fewer than four goals. Thus far, they were under 3.5 goals in nine out of 14 Bundesliga games - 64.3%.

In the previous season, these teams met three times and were under 3.5 goals twice. Considering the previous h2h games and all the above, we believe that an under 3.5 goals bet is the safest bet for this Bundesliga tie.
