The Bundesliga opener will put champions Bayern Munich against a severely weakened RB Leipzig team, at least on first glance. The Bavarians will hope to capitalise on that, while Leipzig will strive to pose a threat to Bayern.
Bayern Munich Team News
It has been a busy summer for Vincent Kompany and his team. After a CWC campaign in the USA and a successful win in the Supercup match against Stuttgart, now it is time for the Bavarians to defend their Bundesliga title. During the CWC, Jamal Musiala was the key casualty that the champions suffered, as he will be out for an extended time. With multiple key additions to the squad, like Luis Diaz and a generally positive Kompany tenure so far, expectations for this season will surely be to win the Bundesliga again as a bare minimum and make a deeper UCL run than last year.
RB Leipzig Team News
RB Leipzig will have to recover from their worst-ever Bundesliga finish. The team failed to secure participation in UEFA tournaments on literally the last matchday of the 24/25 season. While that is surely a blow to the team’s ambitions and allure, it might prove to be a blessing in disguise, as RB Leipzig will now be able to divert its entire attention to securing a top-four finish. Although without Benjamin Sesko, who has left for Manchester United, the team has been active on the transfer market, bringing in many players to bolster its forces. RB Leipzig started the season with a 2-4 win over Sandhausen in the DFB Pokal, but that was also quite a close game, despite what the scoreline might suggest.
Head-to-Head-Games
Games between Bayern and Leipzig tend to produce a lot of goals, as all of the last 5 saw over 2.5 goals. In terms of wins, the Bavarians have 2, while Leipzig has won once in that period. Bayern has won the last 2 games against Leipzig at the Allianz Arena, but before that, they lost 2 consecutive home matches against that opponent.

Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Betting Prediction
Given the result between the two sides in their rivalries, my pick here is for a Bayern Munich win & over 3.5 goals. The Bavarians look potent in attack and will have the bonus of being hosts. History is also on their side, as the last time the champion lost on opening day was back in 2001. Leipzig also demonstrated in their DFB Pokal match that they have goals in them, but at the same time, their defence must up its game
