Football Results

Leipzig and Bayer play very good lately and Leipzig can be sorry for reaching the optimal form so late in the season so it cannot go any further than the third place. Bayern is leading team and has four points more than 2nd-placed Borussia Dortumund an it even can allow itself luxury to lose, although if it wins it would secure the title. Bayern won by 1-0 their match played in the first part of season, and the two teams will soon meet again in the final of DFB-Pokal.

RB Leipzig

If Leipzig played in the first part of season like it plays in the second the match would probably decide the new champion, but Leipzig was late to kick into higher gear and now can reach only the third place, although there is still some minimal chance to end up at the second. Leipzig lost just once in the second part of season and that happened to 2nd-placed Borussia in the first round.

They mostly won and after six-game winning streak they drew in the previous round in Mainz. Leipzig had lead of 2-0, than 3-1 but the result read at the end 3-3, and we could see they were totally relaxed. Klosterman returned to the team and scored first two goals. Forsberg returned too, but now Kample is suspended due to accrued yellow cards and his replacement is Sabitzer, while Demme might play instead of Leimer.

probable lineups: Gulacsi – Mukiele, Konate, Orban – Klostermann, Laimer(Demme), Halstenberg – Sabitzer, Forsberg – Y. Poulsen, Ti. Werner

Bayern Munich

Bayern is just one step away for defending the title, although the season will be analysed in detail and it is hard to say will it be declared as successful. Besides being close to defend the title the Bavarians are finalists of the DFB-Pokal where will face no other team but RB Leipzig. They can win both domestic titles, however, when Bayern is in question not only results are judged but also the play style. They had many problems in this segment and in fact they struggled throughout larger part of season, which includes early elimination from the Champions League. They are not playing badly in the finish of season, although they still occasionally play a bad match, like it was the one with Nurnberg two rounds ago, when they luckily avoided defeat.

They had luck too with fact that Borussia lost steam in the finish of season which greatly eased defence of the title to Bayern. They would resolve all if they win this match but perhaps they won’t even need a single point if Borussia slips agin. In the previous round they won Hannover 3-1 and were absolutely dominant having a player more for almost the entire second half. Neuer is back at the goal and interestingly enough Bayern has no injured player in the finish of tiresome season, although some players are questionable like J. Martinez.

Probable lineups Bayern Munich: Neuer – Kimmich, Sule, Hummels, Alaba – Goretzka, Alcantara – Gnabry, T. Muller, Coman – Lewandowski

Verdict:

Leipzig is in very good shape and totally relaxed so it will try to make life Bayern more miserable. They are definitely capable to do so, especially as the Bavarians seem vulnerable but they want to verify the title, which is why we forecast a match that will turn into a goal fest.
