Bayern Munich vs. RB Leipzig odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Bayern Munich vs. RB Leipzig odds and lines, with Bundesliga expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Bayern Munich (10 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss) welcomes RB Leipzig (8-3-3) to Allianz Arena Friday. Kickoff in this major Bundesliga clash is set for 2:30 p.m. ET (ESPN Deportes). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Bayern Munich vs. RB Leipzig odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich, which is 5-1-0 at home this season, sits atop the highest league in Germany. The Bavarians lead the league in goals (42) and least allowed goals (12). They’re coming off their first loss of the season, a 2-1 road defeat against Mainz 05 Saturday. Including a UEFA Champions League win (5-1 vs. Shakhtar Donetsk) and a loss in the German Cup (1-0 to Bayer Leverkusen), this will be the Bavarians’ fifth game of December. F Harry Kane leads Bayern Munich in goals (14) and assists (6) in 12 starts.

RB Leipzig sits fourth on the Bundesliga table — though tied with third-place Eintracht Frankfurt with 27 points. The Red Bulls have 23 goals (tied for eighth) and have allowed 15 (tied for second). Leipzig has been slightly worse on the road than at home, sitting with a 4-1-2 record through 7 away matches, while it’s 4-2-1 at home. The Red Bulls are coming off a 2-1 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt Sunday. Leipzig, which is averaging 1.64 goals per game, is led by F Lois Openda, who has tallied a team-high 6 goals with 3 assists in 14 matches.

Bayern Munich vs. RB Leipzig picks and predictions

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, RB Leipzig 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Bayern (-450) has been virtually unbeatable at home, but it is too expensive to play here. It has scored at least 3 goals in 4 straight Bundesliga home matches and has just one lone home non-win on the season, a 1-1 draw with Leverkusen in which it ended with 1.3 more expected goals.

Despite Leipzig’s relative strength on the road, it has lost 5 of its last 8 and has struggled to find any rhythm. The Red Bulls (+1000) have lost 4 of their last 5 on the road. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-110).

Bayern Munich has dominated at home, but it hasn’t necessarily had high-scoring battles against quality opponents. At home, the Bavarians have a 1-0 home win over PSG, a 1-1 draw with Leverkusen in a game that had a total of 1.5 combined goals, and a 0-1 loss to Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal. They have gone Under 3.5 in 5 of their last 6 home matches.

Leipzig has gone Under this total in 3 of its last 4 games and has allowed 1 or 0 goals in 4 of its last 6. The Red Bulls have had 1.6 or fewer expected goals as well in 7 of its last 9 matches.

Considering these trends for both sides, BACK UNDER 3.5 (-110).

Analyzing Saturday’s Bayer Leverkusen vs. Eintracht Frankfurt odds and lines, with Bundesliga expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Bayer Leverkusen (4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss) welcomes Eintracht Frankfurt (3-2-1) to BayArena Saturday for a clash of 2 of the top 5 Bundesliga sides. Kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Bayer Leverkusen vs. Eintracht Frankfurt odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Bayer is coming into this game having drawn Holstein Kiel 2-2 Oct. 5, its last Bundesliga match. It has drawn 2 straight games and is just 1-1-1 at home. Bayer has tallied 11 goals in its last 4 matches yet has had more than 2.1 expected goals in just 1 of those 4. It has allowed 1 or fewer goals in 2 of its last 4 games. Leverkusen is led by a tag-team duo of F Victor Boniface and M Florian Wirtz, who have each netted 4 goals this season.

Eintracht sits 3rd in the Bundesliga after 6 league games. It has tallied 14 goals through those matches and allowed 9, possessing the 3rd-best goal differential. Eintracht has tallied at least 2 goals in 5 straight games and is 4-1-0 in those. It has notched at least 1.2 expected goals in every game this season and given at least 1.0. Frankfurt is led by F Omar Marmoush, who has netted 8 goals and 4 assists, both team-highs.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Bayer Leverkusen vs. Eintracht Frankfurt picks and predictions

Prediction

Bayer Leverkusen 2, Eintracht Frankfurt 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+400).

Bayer hasn’t necessarily dominated opponents at home, so while it is a long shot, it is a worthy play to take a draw. Bayer sits 5th in the league, while Eintracht sits 3rd, and Leverkusen drew its last home game and has drawn its last 2.

Eintracht has one of the most dynamic offenses in the league and has scored at least 3 goals in its last 4 games throughout all competitions, having drawn 2 of those. Considering the recent draws for both sides, expect a close match.

For a small unit, take DRAW (+400).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-115).

Since Sept. 26, Eintracht has played in 4 games, 2 of which were Europa League competitions. In all of those games, it has gone north of 3.5 goals, and it has gone north of 5.5 in 3 of them. Eintracht has had over 2.0 expected goals in 5 of its 8 games throughout all competitions.

Bayer has gone north of this total in 3 of its last 4 league games, having tallied 4 goals in 2 of those battles. Leverkusen has not defended well, either, having given up 2.0 goals per game through 6 league matches.

Considering those trends for both sides, back OVER 3.5 (-115).

Analyzing Sunday’s Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich odds and lines, with Bundesliga expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Eintracht Frankfurt (4 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss) welcome Bayern Munich (4-1-0) to Deutsche Bank Park for a clash of the top-2 Bundesliga sides Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich sits atop the Bundesliga and is one of 2 teams without a loss on their record. Bayern has scored 17 goals in 5 matches and has allowed just 4. They are coming off a 1-0 Champions League loss to Aston Villa Wednesday. In their last league game on Sept. 28, they drew Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 at home. Bayern is led by F Harry Kane, who has 5 goals on the season.

Frankfurt has yet to lose at home, going 2-0-0 and outscoring opponents a combined 5-1. Frankfurt is coming off a 4-2 win over Holstein last Sunday, ending with 1.0 more expected goals. They have tallied at least 2 goals in 4 straight games. The home side will be led by F Omar Marmoush, who has  6 goals and 3 assists, both the most on the team, through 5 matches.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich picks and predictions

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Eintracht Frankfurt 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s not great value on the moneyline either way.

The most playable option here is the Draw at +375, but considering how well Bayern has played for most of the season and just how dominant they have been defensively, those odds don’t pose great value.

While Frankfurt is playing well, they aren’t worth a play here to beat the top team in the league. Avoid this play.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-120).

The Bayern Munich defense has just been too good to bet against. Bayern has allowed just 4 goals on the season, and they have given up just 2 goals in their last 4 games. In their last 3 league matches, Bayern’s opponents have just 0.4 expected goals, an extremely low amount. Bayern has scored 2 or fewer in 2 of their last 4 as well.

Frankfurt has can score at a high level, but they can play defense as well, allowing just 4 goals in their last 4 league matches. This should be a competitive match, and Frankfurt is 2-3 O/U this size of a total this season. Considering those defensive trends, take UNDER 3.5 (-120).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Bayern Munich (4 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses) welcomes Bayer Leverkusen (3-0-1) to Allianz Arena Saturday for a high-profile Bundesliga clash. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich has won all 4 games this season, 3 of which have come on the road. Munich has tallied 16 goals, while yielding just 3. In its lone home match, Munich beat SC Freiburg 2-0, ending with 0.5 more expected goals. Bayern is coming off a 5-0 road victory over Werder Bremen last Saturday.  F Harry Kane is Bayern Munich’s leading scorer with 5 goals.

Leverkusen, on the other hand, has a perfect road record (3-0) with its loss coming at home in a 3-2 final vs. RB Leipzig Aug. 31. Leverkusen has 13 goals and has allowed 9 — or 2.25 per game. Leverkusen has scored 4 goals in each of its last 2 league matches and is coming off a 4-3 home win over Vfl Wolfsburg Sunday. Leverkusen has also had more expected goals in all 4 league matches.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen picks and predictions

Prediction

Bayern Munich 3, Bayer Leverkusen 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET BAYERN MUNICH (-155).

Bayern has been the more impressive side this season and is playable at these odds. Leverkusen’s defense has been too inconsistent to expect it to slow down a lethal Bayern attack led by one of the world’s best scorers. Leverkusen has allowed 3 goals in its 2 road matches and has allowed 7 goals in its last 3 Bundesliga games.

Bayern has been much better and have outscored opponents 13-1 in its last 3 games. It has had 5.9 more expected goals in its last 2 games. While Leverkusen will be a more stout opponent, expect Munich to reward the home crowd.

TAKE BAYERN MUNICH (-155).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-110).

Simply put, both teams like to score frequently, and Leverkusen has one of the worst defenses among Bundesliga teams in the top half of the league. Leverkusen has allowed 2.25 goals per game and have given up at least 3 in 2 of its last 3 league matches.

Bayern has gone Over this total in 3 of 4 matches, scoring 5 or more in 2 of those 4. It has allowed at least 1.0 expected goals in 2 of 4 as well. The total in this location last season was 4, a 2-2 draw. Expect Bayern to come out on top and a similar offensive style of play. OVER 3.5 (-110) is the way to go.

VfB Stuttgart vs. TSG Hoffenheim picks and predictions

Prediction

Stuttgart 3, Hoffenheim 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET STUTTGART (-120).

Simply put, Stuttgart has been unstoppable at home, and it has been dominant in general this season. It does have a 3-1 win over Wolfsburg, which sits 9th. Neither team has a ton of quality wins as Stuttgart lost 3-1 to Leipzig and Hoffenheim lost 3-1 to Eint Frankfurt this season, both of which are top-7 teams in the league.

The edge should go to the home side as Hoffenheim’s success on the road should cool off, and at this value, the home side with more quality wins is worth taking. Back STUTTGART (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 3.5 (+120).

Stuttgart has a dominant attack, having tallied 3 or more goals in 6 of 8 league games, scoring 5 twice at home this season. It has had at least 2.3 expected goals in 4 of 8 games as well. It has just been terrific at home.

Hoffenheim also has a strong offense and has scored in every game, even against tough defenses like Dortmund. It has had at least an expected goal in each game as well.

Expect these dominant offenses to continue to stay hot Saturday. Take OVER 3.5 (+120).

Bayern Munich (3 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses) welcomes Bayer Leverkusen (3-0-0) to Allianz Arena Friday. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Both sides sit atop the Bundesliga table and are the only teams that have yet to lose or draw a match in the German top league. Bayer technically has the lead now with 11 goals for and 3 against, a goal differential of 8. Bayern has a goal differential of 7, having tallied 9 for and 2 against.

Munich has won 4-0, 3-1 and 2-1 in respective order, ending with 2.4 expected goals or more in each match and having yet to allow 1 expected goal in a game. Offensively, F Harry Kane and F Leroy Sane both have 3 goals.

Leverkusen’s attack is led by F Victor Boniface, who has scored 4 goals and 2 assists. Bayer’s most notable performance so far this season is a 3-2 home win over RB Leipzig to commence the season. It has won 3-0 and 5-1 as well.

Bayern Munich vs. Bayer Leverkusen picks and predictions

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Bayer Leverkusen 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN BAYERN MUNICH (-175).

While Leverkusen is a better side than it gets credit for, Munich dominated at home against it last season, winning 4-0 and ending with about 2.5 times more expected goals. Munich got their big-name goal scorer to replace F Robert Lewandowski, and Kane has been a star so far for Bayern.

At (-175), the price is a bit steep which is why this is a lean and not a full-unit suggestion. Bayern was 11-5-1 last season and presents good value on the moneyline, which isn’t often true for a team this dominant.

Bayern has also crushed its opponents while Bayer’s 3-2 win over Leipzig ended with the home side (Bayer) having fewer expected goals. Bayern is the better side and should come out on top. Back BAYERN MUNICH (-175).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-110).

Both teams have scored double-digit goals through 3 matches. The offensive prowess is clearly there, but the defensive strength is as well. Bayer has given up 3 goals while Bayern has allowed just 2. This should be a competitive match, and I expect fewer opportunities than usual.

In 5 of the 6 games played by the teams combined, they have held their opponent to under 1 expected goal. With competent defenses, goals should be scarce. Take UNDER 3.5 (-110).
