Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig: betting odds 20 Dec 2024
Bayern Munich — RB Leipzig betting tips 20 Dec 2024
Without the injured Harry Kane, Bayern Munich have slightly strayed from their path of victory in the Bundesliga, adding intrigue to the title race. RB Leipzig trail the Munich giants by six points before this head-to-head clash and will certainly fight for victory away from home.
Bayern's defeat to Mainz (1:2) was an unexpected result—before this encounter, they had secured two wins with a combined total of nine goals. Mainz created 1.64 xG against a team that remains the most successful in the attacking phase of the Bundesliga, boasting 33 goals and an xG of 36.45—the best figures in the tournament. Without Manuel Neuer, Bayern are prone to making defensive errors again, providing competitors with opportunities.
Leipzig have left their disastrous November (five defeats in six games) behind. In four December matches, they have netted nine goals. Against Eintracht Frankfurt (2:1), they were once again propelled forward by the Benjamin Šeško and Loïs Openda duo—each scoring a goal from Christoph Baumgartner's assists. On the road, in seven league matches, RB Leipzig have scored 12 goals, ranking as the seventh-best attack in the competition.
Since December 2020, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig have only scored less than three goals in two of their ten head-to-head encounters. We believe this key match of the round will be filled with goal-scoring opportunities.
