Bayern München vs RB Leipzig — Tips & Analysis

Over 3.75: Goals follow these two around, and that is the case for backing plenty of them again. Bayern's games have almost 5 goals in them on average, and 13 of their last 17 had 3 or more. They score just over 3 goals a game, and they still let in more than a goal a game. Leipzig tell the same story from the other side. They score almost 2 goals a game, they let in more than one, and 12 of their last 15 games had 3 or more goals. They carry a real threat on the break. The history backs it up. The last 20 meetings averaged almost 4 goals, and Bayern won the three most recent ones 2-0, 5-1 and 6-0. This is the Telekom Cup showpiece in front of a full Allianz Arena. Both squads are close to full strength, so this is a serious game and not a lazy run out. A 3-1 to Bayern is the likely finish, and that is the open, end to end game we want. The catch is that it is still a friendly. Both managers can empty the bench at half time and the game can slow right down. Bayern have also gone 84 days without a game, so the first half hour may be scrappy. We still expect a busy night with goals at both ends.
