Bettors, tighten your grip — the Bundesliga curtain-raiser brings us a heavyweight duel: the reigning champions Bayern Munich vs challenger RB Leipzig.
Bayern enter with Vincent Kompany at the wheel and a squad still stacked with firepower, even without Musiala and Davies. Across the pitch, Leipzig arrive wounded from last season’s failures, but with Ole Werner eager to rebuild credibility.
Form: Fresh off a 2-1 Super Cup win over Stuttgart.
Harry Kane: Last year’s top scorer, already back in business.
Allianz dominance: 14 wins in 17 home league matches last season.
New look: Kompany demanding intensity, with Olise and Goretzka adding creativity.
Absences? Yes. Firepower? Still nuclear.
Last season: Missed out on Europe.
Away weakness: Just 1 win in last 10 Bundesliga road trips.
Cup form: Beat Sandhausen 4-2, but again leaked goals.
H2H stat: Scored in each of their last 5 visits to Munich.
Werner has a fragile defence but attacking tools that can hurt even Bayern’s fortress.
Bayern: Aggressive press + vertical play = high volume of chances.
Leipzig: Will look to exploit transitional spaces; their history shows they can score in Munich.
Expect a fast-paced, high-chance encounter.
Bayern Munich 3–1 RB Leipzig Quality and home advantage tilt the scales, Red.
Bayern Munich to Win — 1.25
Both Teams to Score — YES (1.63)
Michael Olise Anytime Scorer — 1.75

7 of the last 9 H2Hs saw both sides score. Expect the same pattern here — goals both ways, but Bayern’s edge is undeniable.
Bayern: Show Kompany’s regime is seamless; keep domestic dominance intact.
Leipzig: Make a statement of intent, restore pride, and remind the league they can still bite.
This isn’t just an opener — it’s an early test of Bayern’s new era vs a Leipzig side desperate to matter again. Expect fireworks, but the Allianz usually bends only one way.
