Bayern Munich will be looking to complete the 11th domestic double in their history when they take on RB Leipzig in Saturday’s DFB-Pokal final.
Niko Kovac’s men saw off a strong challenge from Borussia Dortmund to secure the Bundesliga title on the final day of the season, and now have the opportunity to lift this trophy for the first time since 2016.
Latest odds
Having won this competition with Eintracht Frankfurt last season, the Croatian manager is priced at 10/19 (1.53) with SportPesa to complete a successful debut season with another triumph at the Olympiastadion.
Die Bullen are yet to claim a major trophy in their short 10-year existence, but can be backed a 19/4 (5.75) to put that right by pulling off a shock win here.
GettyThe sides shared a 0-0 draw when they last met at the Red Bull Arena on penultimate day of the league campaign, and you can get odds of 16/5 (4.20) on them ensuring extra-time after another deadlocked 90 minutes.
Team news
Kevin Kampl is the only injury doubt for Ralf Rangnick, who fielded a rotated line-up in the final day defeat to Werder Bremen in order to allow his key players a rest.
Manuel Neuer, Javi Martinez and James Rodriguez are all doubtful, although Leon Goretzka should be fit to play despite coming off injured in the 5-1 victory over Frankfurt that clinched the Bundesliga title.
Preview
As the team in possession of the Bundesliga’s best defensive record this season, Rangnick’s side should have as good a chance as anyone of making life difficult for the newly-crowned champions.
Indeed, they conceded a combined total of just one goal across both encounters with Die Roten this campaign, albeit failing to find the net at all themselves.
Predictions
All in all, odds of 13/10 (2.30) seem generous on a robust Leipzig outfit ensuring under 2.5 goals for their fifth meeting in six with Bayern.
