Bayarn Munich were unbeaten in the Bundesliga until the 13th match and thought that they might do better this season than last season but they could not maintain their consistent performance till the 14th match. They dropped points in 14th match against Mainz and losing this match is not good for them as another team in the league is not far behind them. If Bayern Munich perform like this in their next match, if Leverkusen get full points in their next match, they will be back level with Bayern Munich on points. I can partly blame the absence of Harry Kane as the reason for Bayarn Munich's defeat against Mainz because if this striker was there he would have scored and if he had scored the team would have won.
Having just experienced 1 defeat, it cannot be said that Bayern Munich is inconsistent because every club must have made mistakes, but that does not mean that Bayern Munich will continue to make mistakes in the next match because I am sure this defeat was not something that was intentional for them, it was an unexpected surprise, but I am sure Vincent Kompany will correct the mistake and in the next match against Leipzig, I think Bayern Munich will appear with their best performance at home.

Regardless of the reason for Bayern Munich's defeat in last weekend's match, I think it's common in football and the defeat shouldn't be exaggerated because sometimes a team is unlucky in a match.Kane is a very influential player in the front line and has contributed greatly to the team so far, but that doesn't mean Bayern Munich's dependence on Kane is very high and the defeat to Mainz last weekend was not solely due to Kane's absence.
I can see Bayern Munich's first defeat in the Bundesliga positively, because of this defeat Kompany should be able to fix the team, especially next weekend Bayern Munich will face Lepzig, this is a difficult opponent for Bayern Munich.
Honestly we all know it's over Bayern München is the power
Bayern Munich's defeat proved that Kompanty is very dependent on striker Harry Kane. When Kane was absent, Bayern Munich had difficulty breaking down the opponent's defense, in this case Mainz's defense, to score goals. This can also be seen from the actual game statistics. Bayern Munich dominated the match with 69% ball possession and released 13 shots, but they only managed to make 1 shot on target and it was ineffective. Without Harry Kane, Bayern Munich could not win the match and this was their first defeat after 13 matches without defeat.
On the other hand, in this match Mainz also appeared very effective and clinical. It was seen that they tried 8 attempts at kicks and 4 of them were on target, even though they only got 31% ball possession but they played very effectively. In the end, Mainz gave Bayern Munich their first defeat in the Bundesliga, this defeat not only made Kompanty have to learn from his mistakes but he also had to be able to play the role of all players without having to rely on just one player. So if there is an injured player he can utilize the potential of other players.
--snipped--
But what I noticed now is that as soon as Kane is out, Bayern doesn't have a strong backup. I don't know if the way how their squad is constituted is really sufficient for a team that aims for the Champions League trophy. The Bundesliga is not a problem, but playing the best teams with Muller as a striker or center forward?

Now. we are waiting for their big match Bayern Munich vs Leipig.
I don't think Bayern will lose points two games in a row. After the Mainz defeat they will beat RB Leipzig, a close rival, at home. Because in case of a point loss here, Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig will be very close to them.
If Harry Kane and Alphonso Davies return to the team, Bayern will win this match. The team is so used to playing with Kane, Müller is not enough in forward area. Olise and Musiala are also expected to score. But we must not forget that the other side has Openda. We could see a game with goals from both teams.
RB Leipzig is a very strong opponent side to encounter right from time, and it definitely not gonna be an easy game for Bayern to get through, both are fighting for same trophy, Therefore no side would want to give in for the other even Leipzig themselves, so the outcome of this game would hugely be dependent upon who uses his opportunity to score a goal most. If Harry Kane and Alphonso Davies return to the team, Bayern will win this match. The team is so used to playing with Kane, Müller is not enough in forward area. Olise and Musiala are also expected to score. But we must not forget that the other side has Openda. We could see a game with goals from both teams.
Currently, Munich performance is very good, but sometimes the lower team knows the weaknesses of the upper team that will be done in the final minutes as Mainz did when they beat Munich. On the one hand, Mainz in the H2H results has beaten 1x when playing at home.
Now the H2H results from Munich and Leipzig are a little worrying because Leipzig has a slight advantage and a bigger draw.
So in this match I am sure it will be an interesting match and betting on the number of scores will be the right choice to avoid surprises like before.
If Bayern Munich lose or draw this game, they will give the likes of Leverkusen chance to close the points gap, and since Bayern dropped some points against Mainz, I don’t they can lose to Leipzig especially as they have seen how close to these teams in terms points; therefore, Vincent Kompany and his team will do their best to make sure they win RB Leipzig in order to set record of winning against Leipzig because their statistics in their last match showed that Leipzig is not a small team to overlook. However, since Harry Kane is back, they can do something to win the game because they really need to have consistency and keep wining in order to keep the title race on.
Except things don't work like that. The fact that they lost to Mainz does not increase their probability of winning. They will feel more pressure to win, that's for sure, but having extra pressure is often a disadvantage as it brings in more stress and desperation.
I think the start of the game will be very important. If Bayern manages penetrate Leipzig's defence and take an early lead, it could work very nicely for them and more goals will likely follow. But each passing minute in a goalless draw will be shifting mental advantage towards Leipzig.
I wouldn't mind Bayern losing this one and Leverkusen catching up and reducing the gap to only one point. That would surely make things more interesting.
This round of the Bundesliga is starting with a really lovely game such as Bayern Munich - Leipzig in 2 days. 
These are the odds given to the sides. Honestly I wouldn't prefer to bet on Bayern Munich at these odds. It isn't worth the risk especially after seeing how they lost to Mainz last week.
Instead I would prefer BTTS & over 2.5 goals @1.78. This betting option really started to be one of my favourites recently. 
Especially for games with a potential of many goals.
Bayern Munich are like a goal machine home. They don't concede easily there too though. But I think Leipzig are a team that can change this.
I don't know if to call this fixture interesting or lovely but I see it better as an expected intriguing game because I see this game as one that is going to be some sort of challenging as Leipzig is in their productive erra and so they will want to make such attempts even at Bayern Munich even when they know that Munich is a bigger side and will not want to give them the chance to win easily especially as they will be playing from home, for predictive purposes bookings would be a better pick to play around as there's going to be some good numbers of commitments due to the supposed strive that both team may have. These are the odds given to the sides. Honestly I wouldn't prefer to bet on Bayern Munich at these odds. It isn't worth the risk especially after seeing how they lost to Mainz last week.

The performance of Bayern Munich against Mainz should be enough reason why they will try not to lose again against RB Leipzig in their next game because if they drop points in the game they will find it difficult to secure the league title again with ease because Bayer Leverkusen will have more chances of meeting them in the league table. Leipzig has a good record against Bayern Munich but Bayern Munich playing at home they will have the momentum and the ginger from their fans will boast their performance and they will play to win to restore the energy and winning mentality in the team.
Harry Kane will likely not start again in the game but Kompany will likely Play him as a substitution, I think the presence of Kane will also help Bayern Munich to get victory against Leipzig.

If Kane is back, then I am sure that we are going to see them do fine this weekend. Kane is way more important than people realize, without him they are having hard time scoring, it is not just about Kane himself scoring, it could be a lot more other stuff.
For example, he can assist because he is great when his back is turned, and he can pass to right person and his footwork is amazing which allows them to use their wingers a lot better as well, he is improving the performance of other players even when he is not scoring, or even if he is not getting the ball, he could pull the defense on himself, so someone could assist someone else, because another person could be left open due to defense collapsing on Kane. These are all important stuff, he requires attention and this is why he is very crucial part of the team and when he is missing, they are really missing him, but if he is coming back then I think they can easily defeat Leipzig this weekend.

This season Leverkusen failed to maintain their performance and consistency , although they have a strong squad with the majority of last season players, the match later become opportunity for them to cut the gap with Munich, although actually Frankfurt is also not an opponent that will be easy to face.
Bundesliga have long break for upcoming match due Christmas day and all teams have opportunity get recovery back their teams and prepare for recruiting new players, games week 15 will begin middle week next months and all teams can focus for signing new players when January window transfer opening, Bayern looks need new forward how to anticipation when Harry Kane absent. Bayern Leverkusen are more assured of a win and to take away three points than Bayern Munich will in their upcoming match. Both teams have not been that bad this season and just like last season, they’ll be in the forefront for the league title fight and I expect a very tough and close contending from them. Bayern Munich lost in their last game which helped reduce the point gap between them and Bayern Leverkusen to four points, which is another sign of high expectations of a tight league title fight.
With Bayern Munich opponent for the match round 15, if they can’t win the match, they’ll point gap will reduce to one if Bayern Leverkusen wins their match. So it’s going to be a tough match for Bayern Munich and if Bayern Leverkusen plays well, it’ll be easier for them to get three points in this match than it’ll be for Bayern Munich.
I still do not understand the philosophies of the Dortmund coach and what his plans are, if it were last season when they were contending for a European title it would have been quite understandable but right now they haven't really defined what their intentions are concerning the bundesliga, you can't even trust Dortmund to win a home game against any of the mediocre teams in the German bundesliga, they do not even seem as if they are even interested in contending for the league title, I think Dortmund shouldn't be considered as a potential team for any trophy as they do not possess what it takes to get one.
This season Dortmund's performance may be worse. The last 3 draws in the Bundesliga and losing to Barcelona in the Champions League are certainly not the desired results.
Last season they were also not good in the Bundesliga, even though Dortmund was a tough competitor for Munich in the hunt for the Bundesliga trophy. Now Munich may be more comfortable if there is no team like Dortmund in the competition, although Leverkusen gets enough roles for the competition, Munich may be more dominant.
This season Dortmund may not get anything.
Bayern is a big favourite with odds of x1.33, while betting on Leipzig, you can pocket x7.50. I think bookies underestimate Leipzig team a bit. Leipzig are horribly inconsistent this season, especially when we consider all competitions (i.e. including the Champions League) but they still have one of the best defence in Bundesliga (second only to Bayern) and they noted a good performance last weekend when they earned 3 points on Eintracht (something that Bayern failed to do, as they drew with Frankfurt 3-3 back in October).
I actually do not think it is them underestimating the Leipzig team. Because they have been so inconsistent in this season it is highly unlikely that they are going to win the match against the team that is on the top of the table. They have lost the previous match against Mainz. But I do not think they are going to lose this one. I think they are at least going to get a draw and one point from this match. I know that the people have underestimated Leipzig but I don't think Bayern Munich is going to make that same mistake.

In essence, Leipzig is not a weak team but the bookie strongly favors Bayern Munich based on the available odds, because if the bookie does not underestimate Leipzig then of course the odds are not so wide like that. But yes, I also realize that the bookie has its own percentage to give their odds and therefore, some gambling sites have different odds but the point is that they are very favorable to Bayern Munich.
After all, Leipzig is also not a mediocre team and also not a completely weak team, with Leipzig's success in competing strongly in the top four at least it is proof that Leipzig has a quality that cannot be underestimated at all. So, although Bayern Munich are at the top of the standings and also play at home, basically it is also not a guarantee for Bayern Munich to be able to win easily, because of course Leipzig will make their best efforts not to lose even though Leipzig plays away.

This round of the Bundesliga is starting with a really lovely game such as Bayern Munich - Leipzig in 2 days.
These are the odds given to the sides. Honestly I wouldn't prefer to bet on Bayern Munich at these odds. It isn't worth the risk especially after seeing how they lost to Mainz last week. Instead I would prefer BTTS & over 2.5 goals @1.78. This betting option really started to be one of my favourites recently. Especially for games with a potential of many goals.
Bayern Munich are like a goal machine home. They don't concede easily there too though. But I think Leipzig are a team that can change this.
