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.

Bayern Munich will face Leipzig in the next match. Leipzig is a team that can beat them. Especially after the recent defeat to Mainz, we can predict that a dangerous period may begin for Bayern Munich. If they lose points in a row, Bayer Leverkusen can catch up with them again. There is a four-point gap for now, but this can be closed over time. It is up to Bayern Munich to maintain this gap.

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 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.

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.

Four points lead can easily be levelled up by Bayern Leverkusen if they remain consistent in the race for the top spot because now that Harry Kane who is one of Bayern Munich top scorers is not available due to an injury, Bayern Munich will experience some little setback which Bayern Leverkusen can take advantage of and close the gap. Besides their next game against Leipzig will be tough unlike Bayern Leverkusen that is meeting Freiburg, though they can't be underrated but Bayern Leverkusen has the higher possibility of winning Freiburg. Bayern Munich may not continue at the top position for long because aside being that Harry Kane who is their lead scorer is not yet fit to play, Bayern Munich's defense is very accessible which their opponents can have an easy way to score. And Bayern Munich depended so much on Harry Kane that was why their performance after Harry Kane's injury began to decline but since Leverkusen don't depend much on a particular player, they will find it easier to score and win matches.

Bayern Munich has facing the crisis that they lost some players including Harry Kane and this also causes while Bundesliga break they have decided to cancel some friendly matches they were supposed to play because Kompany don't want to take the risk and about Harry Kane i have watching Bayern Munich matches without Harry Kane and i have to says they are really needed this player because there was no other player who can replace Kane position who performing well as him

If this news is true i think it is good for Bayern Munich because although the performance of Leipzig is decline recently but Leipzig too can be considered as strong team in Bundesliga so it is not easy to beat this team and if Kane is really will be available this weekend then most likely Bayern Munich will win this match

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.

The 4 point gap from Bayern Munich with both having played 14 matches is still very possible for Leverkusen to narrow the gap. Although not dominating like last season, I think Leverkusen still has a serious threat. On the other hand Bayern Munich in the 15th week against Leipzig and Leverkusen against Feirburg, so it is considered quite fair with a fairly tough opponent. Maybe the difference is that Bayern Munich without Kane will have difficulties, while Leverkusen advantage is that they do not depend on 1 player, so they are more stable in attacking from any direction.

Dortmund is currently stranded in 8th place, of course they need to work hard to climb back up the ladder to the top four of the Bundesliga. But Dortmund is Dortmund, this team is one of the elite teams in the Bundesliga. In the middle of the season they usually perform much better, after all they have quite competitive players. It remains to be seen how Nuri Sahin can improve the performance of his team, winning match after match until they reach the target of returning to the top four in this League. I still believe Dortmund will perform much better, even though they are now being handled by young manager Nuri Sahin. On the other hand, Nuri Sahin benefits from his players who have recovered from injury, he has enough options to overcome any deadlock caused by some of his players not performing well. After going 4 matches without a win across competitions, the match against Wolfsburg must be their turning point back to winning ways. The toughest is Leverkusen in the following week, also Frankfurt, a team that is able to make it difficult for strong teams. If Nuri Sahin is able to lead his team to victory, their ranking will automatically be good again and maybe return to the top four. Before we talk about Nuri Sahin's future, it would be better if we wait for the matches that Dortmund will play later.

Indeed have inconsistent performance in this season, Bayern Leverkusen almost reach the top standings with four points remaining from Bayern Munich, last defeated match from Mainz make Bayern get their first defeating in domestic league and looks not comfortable yet their first place behind Bayern Leverkusen almost reach first standings.
Bayern Munich looks difficult scoring many goals last match after Harry Kane absent and he most important players in this season behind 14 goals contributing in domestic league.

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.

Kane is one of the best strikers in the world today, his ability to score goals and his contribution to team play is outstanding, he has even shown how he was able to become the top scorer last season which was his first season in the bundesliga, although at that time Munich was also in bad shape, during this time he continued to show his productivity in scoring goals, But football is a team-based sport where success in winning the title will depend on a lot of performance and mentality of the whole team so far.

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.

Mainz is not doing badly this season in the Bundesliga, so it is not a big deal that they beat Bayern Munich last weekend when Bayern Munich visited Mainz at home. I knew that Mainz was a difficult opponent for Bayern Munich, and that made me play Bayern Munich away to win or draw, but Mainz didn't prove me wrong, and they defeated Bayern Munich. The defeat that Bayern Munich suffered at the hands of Mainz doesn't mean that Bayern Munich won't be able to win their matches in the Bundesliga. Since Bayer Leverkusen is getting back to their winning ways, I believe Bayern Munich will bounce back and win their next match so that they will still be leading Bayer Leverkusen with 4 points in the Bundesliga table.

Bayern Munich without Harry Kane seems to have lost an effective attacking force, nothing will change if Harry Kane is still absent, I think Kompany will still use the same formation, but Kompany will definitely change his strategy because the previous strategy was very vulnerable to being defeated by his opponent, the defeat against Mainz was Bayern Munich's first defeat and it will be used as evaluation material for Kompany to plan a better strategy, but in a few days Bayern Munich will have to face Leipzig in the Champions League if without Harry Kane I'm afraid they will lose, especially since Leipzig has not won in the Champions League, he will definitely try hard to beat Bayern.

Although it sounds very excessive just because of Kane's absence, the Bayern Munich team could not win the match, but in fact it is true, we can see when Bayern Munich lost against Mainz last weekend and Bayern Munich controlled the ball position but Bayern Munich's front line could not maximize the opportunity to become a goal and that is proof that so far the Bayern Munich team has been very dependent on Kane in the front line.

For the next match against Leipzig, of course it will be very difficult for Bayern Munich, and last weekend's defeat should be a lesson for Kompany to make the Bayern Munich team much better in the match against Leipzig, this is important for Bayern Munich to maintain its position in the Bundesliga standings.

Bookies have really underestimated Leipzig giving them that much odds, they are inconsistent but it’s not as if they are 10th place or 13th place in the league they are 4th place with just a few points behind them so I expect the bookies to give Leipzig a lesser odd but if the bookies give them 7.50 odds then they must have their reasons to do that. Leipzig are the away team but in their past meetings Leipzig have always been a stubborn team against Bayern Munich and have also won them at Allianz Arena on multiple occasions. Bayern Munich are not at their fullest best but the availability of their striker Harry Kane will be a huge boost to them because they have missed him and his goals.

Maybe the bookies didn’t consider all the stats and were focused on this season performance, I think they have their reasons but Leipzig will not make it easy for Bayern in this game it will be an interesting game to watch but Bayern Munich will try to maintain their position and try not to drop points at home.

Kane ability to open up the opponent defence has been an important factor for Munich front line so far, although he cant score goals but at least he can open up and trouble the opponent defence, so that will provide opportunities for other Munich players to score goals, in my opinion at this time losing Kane has had a significant impact and it must be addressed immediately by Kompany ahead of the match against Leipzig, Mainz is a defensive team and often relies on counter-attacks in attack, while Leipzig actually so far have a good balance on every line, so in addition to optimising the attack line, Kompany needs to focus on strengthening the defence considering Leipzig attack which is quite impressive.

You won't consider that alone as a criteria to favour Leipzig for a win when they face Bayern Munich. There are teams that Bayern Munich won easily, but Leipzig couldn't win or draw against them. Every big teams has one or two smaller clubs that will always give them headache whenever they are playing against them. Or it could be that the day Bayern Munich and Eintrant Frankfurt played each other, Bayern were in a bad form and Eintrant Frankfurt were in their best form. That Leipzig won Eintrant Frankfurt easily does not in any way suggest that's how they are going to beat Bayern Munich. Although Bayern lost their last weekend match against Mainz 05, so anything can happen when they play Leipzig. But don't depend on the fact that Bayern Munich played out a 3:3 draw with Eintrant Frankfurt, and Leipzig won them, to favour Leipzig against Bayern. The two matches are entirely different from this particular one. Although Bayern against Leipzig is always a match that's full of entertainment and excitement. One thing I'm sure is that, there is going to be enough goals in this match.

Although Kane presence does not guarantee victory for Bayern Munich, he is a difference maker up front who can convert opportunities into goals. It must be admitted that in this match Mainz was more dominant in taking advantage of opportunities, they also managed to put pressure on Bayern who were without several key players. This defeat is a valuable lesson for Kompany, he must find a solution to the fragility of the defense to avoid the same mistake when facing Leipzig who are much stronger than Mainz.

For individual achievements Kane has always appeared more convincing, but he has always failed to maintain his best for the club in terms of titles and for now there is no suitable replacement for him. Leverkusen has started to show major changes in several matches in the Bundesliga, giving them the opportunity to return to the title competition. Frankfurt is doubtful to compete because of their ability to perform consistently and the last one lost to Leipzig so that their position dropped to third place with the same number of points as Leipzig in fourth place.
