Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Bundesliga Match Preview or Key Statistics 💯
This will be the ninth Bundesliga meeting between Bayern München and RB Leipzig. FCB won the first three, but have since won just one of the last five (L1, drawn all of the last three).
Leipzig have won just one of their 10 games against Bayern in all competitions, 2-1 at home in March 2018 (D4 L5), with eight of those games coming in the Bundesliga, (2x DFB-Pokal).
Since 2017/18, Hertha (4 of 7 games) are the only side to have picked up points in as many Bundesliga games against Bayern as Leipzig have (4/6).
RB Leipzig have failed to score more often against Bayern in the Bundesliga than against any other side (5). The last three BL games between the sides have seen just two goals - both in a 1-1 draw on matchday 4 of 2019/20.
FC Bayern have only failed to score in two of their last 70 Bundesliga games, with both of these games coming against Leipzig (0-0 in both May 2019 and February 2020).
Bayern have 22 points from their first nine Bundesliga games - they last had as many at this stage in 2016/17 (23). That same season was Leipzig’s first in the BL, and the only time they’ve been better off after nine games (21) than they are currently (20).
Bayern have scored 31 goals in their first nine games this season, equalling the Bundesliga record set by Eintracht Frankfurt in 1974/75. FCB have also conceded 13 goals in nine games – they last let in more at this stage in 2008/09 (15 under Jürgen Klinsmann back then).
Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski is the Bundesliga’s top goalscorer this season (12). Only Gerd Müller (14 goals in 1968/69), Christian Müller (13, 1964/65) and Lewandowski himself (13, 2019/20) have ever netted more often at this stage of a top-flight campaign.
Robert Lewandowski has scored in 21 of the 29 Bundesliga games under Hansi Flick (32 goals in total), with Bayern winning every match he’s scored in. The last BL game that Bayern lost, despite Lewandowski scoring, was a 5-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt on 2nd November 2019.
Leipzig’s Alexander Sørloth (15, same as Mainz’s Jean-Paul Boëtius) and Dani Olmo (20) have taken the most shots without scoring this Bundesliga season.
