Bayern Munich v RB Leipzig Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: 19^th December 2018 (Kick-off 7:30 PM)

On Wednesday night, Bayern Munich host RB Leipzig in gameweek 16 of the Bundesliga season, as the home side look to make up ground on leaders Dortmund.

Bayern are currently third-place in the Bundesliga, a massive nine points behind arch-rivals Dortmund at the top of the table. BVB could extend their lead on Tuesday night. RB Leipzig are just two points behind the reigning champions and an away win would see the visitors leapfrog the Bavarians.

After a mixed start to their Bundesliga campaign, Bayern have now recorded three straight wins in the German top-flight. Die Bayern have also scored at least two goals in six of their last seven league matches.

Surprisingly, Bayern have struggled for wins on home soil of late in the Bundesliga, winning just one of their last five league games at the Allianz Arena.
