Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for Red Bull Leipzig vs Bayern Munich at the German Super Cup.
Red Bull Leipzig and Bayern Munich clash in the German Super Cup, the game that opens the season in Germany’s top-tier football. This will be the first competitive event involving two Bundesliga teams and the chance to win the trophy immediately, which would be a significant boost for either crew. RB suffered certain changes in its roster, and the same could be said for the Bavarians. They both want to be better than during the previous edition and aim to kick off the year with a win over big rivals.
Red Bull Leipzig
The team from Eastern Germany reached its first trophy last year, winning the DFB Pokal. This is the biggest success for the team, and it will undoubtedly only make their fans and the entire organization more hungry.
Several players left the team, though, only Tyler Adams had been a part of the starting lineup last year. On the other side, a few youngsters from the youth academy have been promoted to the first team, and we expect to see new talents exploding in Leipzig during this campaign.
The Bulls didn’t play too many pre-season-friendly events, only two of them. The first was a win over Southampton, 3-1, while the second happened to be a massive humiliation to Liverpool, 0-5, which exposed numerous flaws this team needs to fix before the start of the season.
Bayern Munich
The Bavarians were on tour through the United States, playing two events too. Nagelsmann’s unit ripped apart Wayne Rooney-led DC United, 6-2, but after that suffered the first loss to Erling Haaland, who scored the only goal in the game between his Manchester City and Bayern.
The Bundesliga champions have lost their top striker and arguably the best in the world over the past two, or three years, Robert Lewandowski, but Sadio Mane landed at Allianz Arena. Meanwhile, a few young players arrived, De Light, Gravenberch, and Mazraoui, who will be the club’s backbone in the years to come.
Bayern’s style of play is always the same, meaning that this team attacks and pressures the rivals throughout all 90 minutes. They are always searching for a way to score, regardless of the result, and act as a machine.
In both matches during the 2022 season, Bayern posted wins over the Bulls. The first meeting at Red Bull Arena ended with Bayern’s impressive 1-4 victory, while the second at Allianz saw the hosts winning 3-2.
Overall, Bayern hasn’t lost to Red Bull in the past nine games.
The Bulls showed lots of issues in the back line against Liverpool. It could be that it was a bad day for them, but still, we believe that they have a lot to change in order to be competitive for the Bundesliga title. Meanwhile, Bayern is still processing Lewandowski’s departure but has its system, which will cover up that minus. All in all, we give a slight edge to the guests, and they will be our pick for this event.
Our verdict: Bayern Wins
