On January 20, the Red Bull Arena will host the match of the 16th round of the Bundesliga 1, in which RB Leipzig will meet with Bayern. The start of the fight is scheduled for 20:30 Kyiv time.
RB Leipzig
The team started this season similarly to the previous one. Again a bunch of terrible failures, and again a change of mentor – a recent hero, Domenico Tedesco, was fired. But it gave the result, and quite quickly. The Germans managed to improve even in the Champions League, where they got ahead of Celtic and Shakhtar (taking a convincing revenge on the latter), even beat Real Madrid and reached the playoffs. Confidently go “bulls” in the German Cup. And in the Bundesliga, a series of 8 rounds without defeat, which ended with 4 victories in a row, allowed us to get to 3rd place for a pause! By the way, that’s really who was hardly happy with her. Only it turned out to gain excellent momentum, as you need to stop for more than 2 months – almost like in the off-season. But Marco Rose is an experienced coach, and so far the leaders have been retained.
Bavaria
The club leaves quite conflicting assessments under Julian Nagelsmann. Yes, this coach started in Munich with a “silver salad bowl”, but this is only a personal achievement, while the “record masters” themselves have long perceived this as something like a “mandatory program”. At the same time, they and a new mentor (who came just from RB Leipzig, and for a very significant compensation) failed last season both in the cup and in the Champions League. Now the “Star of the South” has confidently won the group in the main European Cup, where there was already a familiar opponent, “Barcelona” and “Inter”. Bayern tops the table in the domestic arena. But at the same time, she won only 10 matches out of 15 (even if she lost only once). Here, Neuer also “made friends” by riding in such a way that he broke his leg and would not return soon.
head-to-head statistics
Bayern have 4 wins in a row. This season the clubs have already met in the Super Bowl and finished 5:3.
Forecast
Bookmakers are waiting for a new victory for Bayern, and a spectacular one at that. But this is the first match after a long pause – it’s worth looking at “less than 3.5 goals” with a coefficient of 1.9 according to Parimatch.
