RB Leipzig have injected some good run into their season but will get a tough reality check when they travel to Bayern Munich in the 21st round of matches in the Bundesliga. To highlight how bad Leipzig’s season has been, a massive 18 points stand between these two sides. Bayern are top of the standings with 49 points, and will be out to open a nine-point gap here. The Bundesliga champions have so far scored the most goals in the league (65), and conceded the least (19). They are coming from a 4-1 win over Hertha Berlin, that being their ninth win of the last 10 matches. They lost their first game of the year, 2-1 at home to Borussia Monchengladbach but have recovered, with two wins ahead of this. In the last five matches they have kept three clean sheets and each of the five matches has produced over 2.5 goals. In eight of their last 10 matches, Bayern have scored two or more goals.

Leipzig are placed sixth with 31 points and have their targets set on rising to the top four after this game. It is just three points away from the top four but getting there will call for a lot, though they have a better goal difference than the two sides above them. The new year has been great for Leipzig so far; they’ve played four matches and won all after closing 2021 with a home loss. Here they head to this game with three straight wins, and have only conceded a goal in their four matches in 2022. In each of their last four matches, Leipzig have managed two or more goals. Their last outing ended 2-0 against Wolfsburg and after playing four of their last five matches at home, they will want to have an impact away too. In their last 10 league matches, Leipzig have failed to score in just two. However, they have only one win in their last 12 away league matches.
