Bayern Munich v Leipzig Betting Tips [5 February 2022]

A top encounter is in the offing in the German Bundesliga as champions Bayern prepare to host Leipzig on Match Day 21. Bayern go to this game seeking to extend their leadership of the league, having so far bagged 49 points while Leipzig are sixth with 31 points. Bayern have recovered from their shock loss in their opening game of the year, a 2-1 reverse at home to Borussia Monchengladbach. Apart from that loss, Bayern have nine wins in their last 10 matches and these have been high-scoring. In eight of their last 10 matches, they’ve scored two or more goals and in their last five matches, four have seen over 3.5 goals scored. At home in the Bundesliga, Bayern have lost two times in the last 10 matches and the rest have all ended in wins.

In the last eight meetings with Bayern Munich, Leipzig have no win; in fact, they’ve lost both the last two matches against the champions. It has been a good year so far for Leipzig; they have four straight wins in 2022 and will go to this game hoping they can carry this over. A place in the top four is well within reach and Leipzig will definitely be having this among their targets. Of their four wins, they have three straight clean sheets ahead of this game and in each of their last four matches, Leipzig have scored two or more goals. Their away form in the Bundesliga hasn’t been very impressive though. In their last 12 away league matches, Leipzig have managed just one win, in their most recent game – a 2-0 win over Stuttgart. They have lost seven of the 12 away league games.

These two sides are doing well ahead of their faceoff; Bayern have recovered from the loss to Monchengladbach and Leipzig are having a good 2022 so far. Going to this game the two teams have been impressive in attack and with the expectation that this will continue, we will back the match to produce over 3.5 goals.
