Bayern are currently at the top of the league table with 34 points, and are hoping to widen their lead through this game. As for Leipzig, they are at the third with 28 points.

Across all competitions, these two teams have already locked horns for just 15 times, with the visitors having a dominating lead. The visitors won nine of those 15 meetings, while the hosts only have one win against them, and the remaining five games all ended in draw. When it comes to home games, the hosts are doing well, as they are unbeaten at home in the contest this season. In fact, in seven home games, they managed to keep clean sheets in four of those. As for the visitors, they are also doing well on the road, winning their last three away games, having two clean sheets.
Bayern Munch
As the defending champions, it is no longer a surprise that this squad is at the top of the league table. In fact, they won their last five league games, and across all competitions, they already won ten straight games. On their last game against Schalke, they took home a 2-0 victory, all thanks to the goals from Serge Gnabry, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. This team is enjoying their good form, which is why they are also having a solid run this season. Coming into this game, they are expected to continue their form, to defend their title.
Lucas Hernandez and Sadio Mane are both unavailable in this game, following their respective injuries. These injuries were sustained during their World Cup campaign. With the absence of Hernandez, Daley Blind could possibly debut in this match.
RB Leipzig
The hosts are currently in a much-improved form recently, in fact, they remain to be unbeaten on their last eight league games. On their last game, they had a 2-1 victory, all thanks to the goals of Andre Silva, and Xaver Schlager. That game is their fourth win on the spin. This team is doing well at home, which they are hoping to take advantage of. This team has 28 points across their name. A win in this game could bring them to the second spot, behind Bayern, a better place for them. They have many guys who could step-up for them, so expect this squad to stand a chance against their opponents.
Nkunku is a doubt in this game, as he is still recovering from his knee injury. Luckily, Mohamed Simakan is back from his injury, and Konrad Laimer is also expected to start. Timo Werner on the other hand is also a doubt in this game, due to his ankle injury.
