The home team aims to slow down Bayern Munich's march toward the championship, given their impressive form as the team cruises towards the finish line.

Following their 2-0 victory over Freiburg midweek, Leipzig currently sit third in the league table with 32 points. In that match, Ole Werner's side displayed a dominant performance, virtually shutting down their opponents' attack.

This result provided much-needed relief for Leipzig, especially after two consecutive 1-3 defeats. Notably, this was Leipzig's fourth clean sheet in their last six league matches.

Despite being in the top 3, Leipzig are only 3 points behind sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen, meaning the top group could change significantly after the weekend's matches. Leipzig's recent form has been inconsistent, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 5 Bundesliga games, although they have still scored a total of 10 goals.

However, the Red Bull Arena has proven to be a strong home ground for Leipzig, as they have won 8 out of 9 home games this season, with the exception of a 1-3 defeat against Leverkusen at the end of December.

On the opposite side, Bayern Munich continues to assert its dominance in the Bundesliga. Vincent Kompany's team leads the table with 47 points, 11 points ahead of Borussia Dortmund. Their 3-1 comeback victory against FC Koln midweek showcased Bayern's formidable attacking prowess and strength, although their defense still leaves some room for improvement.

Statistics show that Bayern have failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 of their last 12 matches, but in return, their attack has been incredibly explosive, scoring 15 goals in just the last 3 games.

The head-to-head history also heavily favors Bayern. In the first leg in August, Bayern thrashed Leipzig 6-0, extending their unbeaten streak against them to five matches, including three wins. Bayern are currently on an eight-match unbeaten run, winning seven of them.

With Leipzig's impressive home form and Bayern's all-around strength, the clash at Red Bull Arena promises to be intense and could create a significant turning point in the Bundesliga title race.

Four goals in Arsenal's crushing victory over Bayern: In the early hours of November 27th, Arsenal maintained their impressive form by defeating Bayern Munich 3-1 in the 2025/26 Champions League qualifying round.
