Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig form
After being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 by PSG, Bayern Munich allowed the entire team to leave camp for about 3 weeks. In early August, the defending Bundesliga champions gathered again to prepare for the new season.
In the three pre-season friendlies, Bayern played very successfully, defeating Lyon (2-1), Tottenham (4-0) and Grasshopper (2-1). The impressive results helped coach Vincent Kompany and his team confidently enter the German Super Cup match with Stuttgart, the reigning National Cup champions.
As expected by experts, Bayern quickly created an overwhelming game and a 2-goal gap. In addition to the shining moment of main striker Harry Kane, expensive rookie Luis Diaz also proved his quick integration with a goal in the 77th minute.
Despite winning 2-1 to win the first title of the 2025/26 season, Bayern Munich still has many worries.
In particular, the defense, despite the addition of "rock" Jonathan Tah, still has not shown solidity. There were at least 4 situations where goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had to show his talent to save the goal because of the poor ability of his teammates above him to stick and fill the gaps.
Remember, in the last 8 appearances in all competitions, Bayern have only kept a clean sheet in 1 match.
That weakness may not significantly affect the Allianz Stadium team in the long-term race in the domestic arena, but it can completely make them pay a heavy price in the continental arena.
On the other side of the front line, RB Leipzig also just started the new season last weekend. Having to face lower-ranked opponents Sandhausen in the National Cup, coach Ole Werner and his team did not encounter many difficulties to win 4-2.
But that predictable victory hardly erased the visitors' poor preparation. In addition to losing both recent friendlies against tougher opponents like Atalanta and Lens, RB Leipzig has also been under a lot of suspicion after the sale of star striker Benjamin Sesko to Man United.
Despite reinvesting in new contracts such as Banzuzi, Johan Bakayoko, Yan Diomande, Romulo Cardoso, Andrija Maksimovic, the integration and performance of these new recruits are still big questions.
Last season, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig both created "goal storms" at both the Allianz Arena and Red Bull Arena.
In the first leg, with home advantage, Bayern crushed their opponents with a resounding 5-1 score. However, in the second leg, the Bavarian giants had to struggle to draw 3-3 after being down 2 goals in the first half.
