RB Leipzig
Chances are high that RB Leipzig will miss out on Champions League football next season. They have had some good moments in the past months, but the overall impression is that they are just not good enough. A new coach, new philosophy, and new planning put them in a tricky spot, and my personal feeling is that they are not a Champions League team.
RB Leipzig’s last two games ended in a disappointing 1-1 draw against almost-relegated Holstein Kiel and a heavy 4-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend. They are now two points behind SC Freiburg in fourth, but losing this match could see RB Leipzig further drop, perhaps to the seventh spot, depending on other games.
RB Leipzig can draw inspiration from the fact that they remained unbeaten in five of their last six at home, including each of their last three.
However, they have never beaten the Bavarians in their last six games played in Leipzig, losing three and drawing three games.
Bayern Munich
This is it. Should Bayern Munich win the match, they will officially become the Bundesliga Champions in Leipzig. This season has been nothing short of fantastic for them, breaking all kinds of records again.
Bayern Munich have won four of their last five Bundesliga games, so their confidence is very high before this trip. They also scored twice or more in eight of their last nine Bundesliga games.
The Bavarians’ away record is stellar, as you would expect. Winners in 10 of their 15 away games and losing only once on the road all season long puts Bayern Munich in a strong position as favorites in this match.
Destiny has a funny way of playing with Harry Kane. After many Premier League disappointments with Tottenham, he is about to finally become a champion.
However, in probably the biggest game where his teammates will celebrate, he will sit on the bench. He couldn’t wait to celebrate, but amazingly picked up a yellow-card suspension last week, and will watch this match from the bench.
The Betting Verdict
RB Leipzig were terrible in their last two games. They lost breath in the battle for the top four and will likely end up outside. I cannot see how they can be a match to a fully motivated Bayern Munich team, who are coming to celebrate the title in Leipzig.
Considering form, quality, and all other things, Bayern Munich should win this match and the return of the trophy to Munich.
