Bayern Munich will host RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, 17 October, in the sixth round of the German championship, with the hosts aiming to build on an unbeaten start to the season.
Bayern are third in the table after collecting 11 points from their opening five matches. They have won three games and drawn two, while scoring 16 goals and conceding four for a goal difference of +11.
The position is an unusual one for Bayern at this stage of a campaign, although they remain the only side in the fixture to have avoided defeat this season. However, Vincent Kompany’s side have not won either of their past two matches, drawing both.
RB Leipzig sit fifth with nine points from five games. Their record includes three victories and two defeats, with 15 goals scored and five conceded, giving them a goal difference of +10.
Leipzig have produced mixed results in their most recent fixtures. They defeated PSV 1-0 and Eintracht Frankfurt 6-0, but then lost 2-0 to Bayer.
The teams have met 26 times, with Bayern holding a clear advantage in the head-to-head record. Bayern have won 16 of those matches, equivalent to 61.5%, while RB Leipzig have recorded three victories, or 11.6%. The remaining seven games ended level, accounting for 26.9% of their meetings.
Bayern also won the most recent encounter between the clubs. That match, played on 15 August 2026, ended in a 3-1 victory for the Munich side.
The hosts’ unbeaten record is one of the key factors heading into Saturday’s meeting. Bayern have not lost in any of their five matches this season, while RB Leipzig have already suffered two defeats, representing 40% of their games.
Bayern have also shown their attacking potential in recent weeks, including a 7-0 victory over Union Berlin. Leipzig’s 6-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt provides evidence of their own ability to score heavily, setting up a meeting between two of the division’s more productive attacks.
With Bayern’s stronger record in previous meetings and their unbeaten start, the forecast points to a high-scoring match in which the home side will have the edge.
The predicted exact score is Bayern Munich 3-1 RB Leipzig.
