Prediction & Comprehensive Analysis:
After Bayer Leverkusen underwent a major overhaul, Bayern’s prospects of defending their title this season look bright, undoubtedly making them the top favorite for the championship, with a clear gap in statistics ahead of others. In last week’s DFL-Supercup, Bayern narrowly defeated Stuttgart away to lift the trophy as expected, with an obvious overall advantage. New signing Dias also scored his first goal since joining. However, judging from the bench in the last match, the team is currently heavily affected by injuries, and squad depth is a concern. Additionally, new signing Tom Bischof will miss tonight’s game due to injury, and Kompany even needs to promote young players to fill the squad list.
RB Leipzig was one of the most disappointing teams last season. Plagued by injuries, they underperformed in multi-competition campaigns, ultimately finishing 7th in the league and missing out on European qualification. The club made a managerial change in the summer window, and the new coach stated directly that the goal is to get the team back into the Champions League. There have been significant personnel changes: they signed striker Bakayoko from Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven, and Brazilian winger Romulo from Turkish Super Lig’s Göztepe! The team’s midfield core Xavi Simons has stayed, ensuring the main framework of the team remains intact. However, key striker Šeško was signed by Manchester United, but fortunately, the team promptly signed young Ivorian forward Diomande from Leganés. The team focused on strengthening the midfield and attack, with a net expenditure in the summer window, reflecting the club’s determination to push for a top-four finish this season.
Summary:
Major Asian bookmakers initially offered Bayern Munich a -1.75 goal handicap for this match, which was subsequently adjusted to a -2 goal handicap, showing significant betting heat. Against the backdrop of an ongoing defensive injury crisis and a mass exodus of midfield and defensive players, Bayern’s defense is precarious! Moreover, with Bayern fresh off winning the DFL-Supercup, the increased support undoubtedly further amplifies the betting heat on Bayern. Overall, RB Leipzig’s defeat against Bayern seems inevitable, but based on the current handicap changes, it’s worth backing RB Leipzig to cover the handicap in their away challenge.
