Bayern Munich host RB Leipzig on Saturday evening in the sixth round of the Bundesliga, with two of the division’s most prolific attacks meeting at the Allianz Arena. Bayern are seeking greater consistency after an uneven opening to the campaign, while Leipzig will be aiming to improve a poor run of away results.
The match will be played on Saturday, 17 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 16:30 GMT at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
In France, the game will be shown on beIN Sports. ESPN+ will broadcast it in the United States, while viewers in the United Kingdom can watch on Sky Sports. DAZN holds the rights in Canada, Portugal and Spain, and coverage in Germany will be available on DAZN and Sky Deutschland. In Africa, the listed broadcasters are Canal+ Sport and New World Sport.
Bayern hold the clear advantage in recent meetings
Bayern Munich have won six of the past 10 meetings between the clubs. RB Leipzig have recorded two victories in that period, with the other two matches ending in draws.
Leipzig have also gone more than three years without beating the Bavarian side, giving Bayern a significant psychological and historical advantage ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
Bayern’s attack the main threat
Bayern have taken three wins and two draws from their first five league fixtures. Although their recent performances have been disappointing, they remain the Bundesliga’s highest-scoring team, having found the net 16 times.
That attacking strength, combined with home advantage, makes Bayern a particularly difficult opponent at the Allianz Arena. However, their inconsistent start means they will be looking for a more convincing showing against Leipzig.
RB Leipzig travel to Munich after a 1-0 European victory against PSV. Their away form has been a major concern, though, with the team suffering three consecutive defeats in official matches on the road.
To challenge Bayern, Leipzig will need to be more clinical in front of goal and find a way to withstand the hosts’ attacking pressure.
Bayern overwhelming favourites
Bayern Munich are given an 80% chance of winning, compared with 12% for a draw and 8% for an RB Leipzig victory.
The forecast reflects Bayern’s attacking quality and strong home advantage, despite their recent inconsistency. The predicted result is a 3-0 win for Bayern Munich.
The betting company 1xbet lists Bayern at 1.21 to win, with the draw priced at 8.00 and Leipzig at 10.00.
