Bayern Munich enter the season as title favorites once again, fresh off their Bundesliga triumph and a German Super Cup win over Stuttgart. While club legend Thomas Müller has departed for MLS and Kingsley Coman has moved to Saudi Arabia, Bayern’s roster still looks stacked. New signing Luis Díaz from Liverpool has already made an impact, scoring in the Super Cup final, while Harry Kane appears to be in red-hot form.

RB Leipzig, meanwhile, are going through a transitional phase. The club cashed in on Benjamin Šeško, selling him to Manchester United for around $90 million, and reinvested in a wave of youthful talent, including Arthur Vermeeren, Johan Bakayoko, and Yan Diomande. These signings promise a bright future, but in the short term, Leipzig may lean heavily on experienced leaders like Péter Gulácsi, Willi Orbán, and Kevin Kampl.

The last meeting between Bayern and Leipzig ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw, and goals are once again on the cards. However, given Bayern’s stability, firepower, and home advantage, this time the outcome is unlikely to be so balanced. Expect the reigning champions to dominate in attack and secure a convincing win.

Prediction: Bayern Munich 4 – 1 RB Leipzig
