Leipzig are likely to see key striker Lois Openda return to the starting lineup after his absence last weekend, offering a much-needed boost to their attack. However, they will be without defender El Chadaille Bitshiabu, who is suspended. The Red Bulls will look to capitalize on home advantage and reassert themselves in the top-four race.
Bayern Munich travel to Leipzig after a convincing 3-0 win over Mainz. With Harry Kane sidelined, veteran Thomas Müller is expected to spearhead the attack. The Bavarians will also be missing Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, and Dayot Upamecano, all of whom remain in recovery. Despite these absences, Bayern’s depth could prove crucial in such a tense matchup.
Leipzig’s desperation for points and Bayern’s injury setbacks, an entertaining and balanced affair is on the cards.
Prediction: 2-2 Draw
