Betting tips from AI for RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich, 17 January 2026.

Bayern arrive as clear favorites after a blistering first half of the season — top by 11 and a staggering 66 goals in 17 games, led by the Kane–Díaz–Olise trio — and the market agrees with 1.58. Their 6-0 win at Leipzig in August and five consecutive wins in the head-to-heads add a psychological edge.
Leipzig are dangerous at home, scoring in every match and packing corners (5.9 per game). Werner’s side also have four clean sheets in six and could introduce pace via Nusa and Diomande, but their comeback tools look unlikely to neutralize Bayern’s firepower. The draw sits at 4.84 while the big upset price for Leipzig is 5.08.
Given form, history and attacking depth, Bayern should control the game and nick a win away from the Red Bull Arena.

The Bundesliga's top clash sees an unstoppable Bayern Munich juggernaut, leading by 11 points with an astounding 66 goals in 17 games, face a resilient RB Leipzig. Spearheaded by the prolific trio of Harry Kane, Luis Diaz, and Michael Olise, who've combined for 38 goals, Bayern's attack is simply devastating. Their dominance was on full display in the reverse fixture, a crushing 6-0 victory, part of an unbeaten run in five meetings against Leipzig and five consecutive away wins under Vincent Kompany.

While RB Leipzig have shown grit, securing four clean sheets in their last six league matches and scoring in every home game this season, their task is monumental.
