Why you should back Bayern Munich
The FCB haven’t displayed any complacency after winning their 10th consecutive Bundesliga title last season as they are first in the table, four points ahead of SC Freiburg. Bayern have been an offensive juggernaut, scoring a whopping 49 goals in 15 matches, and also lead the league with an astonishing plus-36 goal differential. The club has netted at least four tallies on six occasions and recorded a season-high seven in a victory against VfL Bochum on Aug. 21.
A total of 13 players have converted for the FCB this campaign, with nine registering multiple goals. Midfielder Jamal Musiala is fourth in the Bundesliga with nine tallies while forward Serge Gnabry ranks sixth with eight. The 19-year-old Musiala had his four-game streak snapped in his last outing but notched a pair of assists to pull into a tie for fourth in the league with six.
Why you should back RB Leipzig
The Red Bulls also possess a potent offense as they are third in Bundesliga with 30 goals. More than half of those tallies will be missing from the lineup on Friday as league leader Christopher Nkunku (12) is out until at least the end of February with a knee injury and Timo Werner (4) is doubtful with a bad ankle. However, Leipzig could receive a boost from Austrian midfielder Konrad Laimer, who is expected to play in his fifth match of the season and first since September.
The 25-year-old Laimer has yet to get on the scoresheet this campaign but recorded four goals and four assists in 26 contests in 2021-22, with one of the tallies coming in a 4-1 loss to Bayern. Hungarian defender Willi Orban is third on the team with three goals while Swedish midfielder Emil Forsberg and Portuguese forward Andre Silva have scored two apiece. Silva tallied in a 3-2 setback against the FCB last season while Forsberg converted versus the club in a 3-3 draw the previous campaign.
