Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bayern Munchen will be looking to build on a routine 3-1 win over Werder Bremen when they take on Leipzig at Allianz Arena. The Bavarians are four points clear of second-place Leipzig, meaning that boss Hansi Flick must warn his men against complacency. Robert Lewandowski, who scored his 32nd goal of the season at the weekend, is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. You should bear in mind that Bayern Munchen are eyeing their 10th home win of the season.
Die Schwaben, on the other hand, did well to beat Hoffenheim at home in their last league match, but given their anything but good away record in the Bundesliga, we are tempted to put our money on the league leaders. Talented midfielder Orel Mangala, who suffered an injury at the weekend, is unlikely to feature against FCB.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
