Our prediction for the match Bayern vs RB Leipzig
“The Star of the South” took the “silver salad bowl” in the last but one season due to luck: Borussia, which was in the lead, did not win in Dortmund in the last round. And speaking about 2023/2024, there was a complete failure – not a single trophy! “The Bulls” have already had a typical season under the leadership of Marco Rose. They reached the play-offs of the Champions League, while remaining in the top 4 at the inner arena. As for the Bundesliga, the club managed to push Borussia Dortmund below.
Kompany has now moved to Munich. There were doubts about him from the very beginning: the specialist didn’t really achieve anything special at Anderlecht and just as he raised Burnley to the Premier League, he was relegated back with it. There are also complaints about the Belgian’s work in Germany: it is reasonable to mention the elimination from the cup, where the team lost to Bayer, and the defeats to Aston Villa and Barcelona in the Champions League (there, they even lost with a 1-4 score). Still, there are more victories in the European competition. The club closed the year there with a strong-willed and crushing victory over Shakhtar. And there were only a few draws in the Bundesliga. Then there happened a sudden misfire in the previous round (a defeat to Mainz). Rose’s wards started off vigorously, but first they demonstrated that they were not getting points in the Champions League (they lost to Aston Villa again and would definitely not make it to the play-offs), and then there was an unpleasant stretch in the Bundesliga. Nevertheless, the club continued to fight in the cup, crushing Eintracht with a 3-0 score. Then, after the victory over Holstein, the team played with the same opponent in the championship and succeeded with a 2-1 result.
Even with Kane’s injury, “the Star of the South” continues to score more than three goals per round on average. And the club allows the opponents to score less than 0.8 goals. The guests play much more boringly, although the ratio is also positive: 1.6 / 1.1.

“The Star of the South” is always the favourite on the home field. Still, they are not in optimal shape, and have troubles with the line-up – it is worth considering a bet on the guests to win with “a +2.0 goal handicap” (odd: 1.6).
