Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips (24 February)

The crazy series of 12 titles in a row won by Bayern across the Rhine may well end next spring. Because this 2023-2024 season could well turn sour for the Munich residents who are now 8 points behind the excellent Bayer Leverkusen 12 days from the end of the season. Quickly eliminated in the German Cup and trailing by one goal in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League after their defeat conceded last week at Lazion Rome 1-0, the Bavarians are losing everything . And after being humiliated on the field of Bayer Leverkusen 3-0, they showed themselves incapable of reacting by losing again, in a more surprising way, on the lawn of Bochum. Proof that the evil seems quite deep for Thomas Tuchel's men which will not be extended at the end of the season. On the Leipzig side, we would not be able to be satisfied with this season either if it were to end at this moment.

Because currently, RasenBall Sport is not even in the top 4 of the Bundesliga rankings and it would therefore not even qualify for the Champions League next year. However, Marco Rose's players have achieved 2 successes over the last 3 days played against Union Berlin 2-0, Augsburg 2-2 and Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 last weekend. Thanks to these victories, they came back only one length from 4th place occupied by Dortmund. Just like Bayern, Leipzig is also involved in the Champions League and the Red Bulls also did not get off to a good start in their double confrontation by losing at home to Real Madrid 0-1.

The two matches last week turned into a nightmare for Dayot Upemacano who conceded two penalties and was sent off during these two matches. The French international will therefore obviously be suspended for this meeting. In addition to this, Thomas Tuchel is facing an avalanche of absences since executives Serge Gnabry, Alphonso Davies, Laimer and Coman, replacement goalkeeper Peretz, replacements Sarr and Buchmann and the French full-back recruited this winter, Sacha Boey are all in the infirmary right now. They were joined last weekend by Moroccan full-back Mazraoui who will also miss a few weeks of competition. On the other hand, offensively, the former PSG coach will be able to count on the prolific Harry Kane (25 goals, 5 assists in the Bundesliga), on the very good Leroy Sané (8 goals, 11 assists) and Müller (1 goals, 7 assists) and on the nugget Musiala (6 goals, 2 assists).

For his part, Marco Rose should only be confronted with the defection of senior defender Klostermann and that of Malian midfielder Haïdara who have both joined the infirmary during the victory against Gladbach last week. During this meeting, it was the two strong men of the Leipzig offensive sector who stood out. This is obviously the former Lensois Openda who scored his 16th goal of the season (+5 assists) while the Dutchman Xavi Simons scored his 6th pawn (+7 assists). We must also be wary of the very good Raum (2 goals, 6 assists) and the formidable Slovenian Sesko (6 goals).
