In the first leg, RBL caused a bit of trouble for the people of Munich. In fact, the Saxons started a very turbulent time after the winter break with the 1-1, in which the Bavarians gambled away the 9-point lead over Dortmund. Back then, Erix Maxim Choupo-Moting and Marcel Halstenberg scored the two goals.

RB Leipzig has recently shot itself back into shape. Three league wins in a row and reaching the DFB Cup final are the basis for an extremely successful end to the season. At the same time, the Gallic villages of Union Berlin and SC Freiburg are still threatening to spoil the Saxons’ participation in the Champions League. So Leipzig can win everything and lose everything. The motivation should be correspondingly huge against Bayern, especially since it should be attractive for almost every club to take the championship away from Bayern.

Just in time for the decisive phase, Bayern seem to be back in championship form. The Munich team recently had three wins in a row in the league. FCB recently won 6-0 against Schalke. However, the big chunks weren’t there recently. Basically, football Germany has been looking at today’s duel with RB Leipzig for weeks, because this is exactly where the championship could be decided. With a win, Munich pulls away to four points. Since Dortmund have to play one of their unloved away games tomorrow, that could be enough.
17:31
Preliminary decision in the championship? Bayern Munich welcomes RB Leipzig at 6:30 p.m. for the absolute top game of the day. Welcome!
