Bayern Munich has been particularly prolific, netting 42 goals in 14 matches at an impressive average of 3 goals per game. Leipzig has also been solid, scoring 23 goals in the league so far and averaging 1.6 goals per match.

RB Leipzig Total Goals: Over 1 @ 2.36 (4/3)
1 (50%)
(50%) 1
There are several reasons for this choice. Firstly, the Red Bulls are currently averaging 1.6 goals per game. Additionally, they have managed at least two goals in four of their last five games. With four losses in their previous seven games and the Winter Break approaching, Leipzig will aim to secure a positive result from this match. They will likely take an attacking approach, maintaining their trend of scoring at least two goals in this game. They have a strong record in this area, scoring at least twice in two of their last three encounters with Bayern Munich.
Total Corners: Over 9.5 @ 1.90 (8/9)
2 (100%)
0
Leipzig is not particularly adept at earning corner kicks, averaging just 4.2 corners per game in the league. Nonetheless, their last two matches each featured at least 12 corner kicks. Bayern’s record is comparable to Leipzig’s, with an average of 6.5 corners per game, and most of their recent matches haven’t surpassed the 9.5 corner threshold. However, two of their last three encounters against Leipzig have exceeded the 9.5 corner mark. Given the nature of this game, we expect to see a repeat of this trend.
