Bayern Munich will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga standings when they host RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
The Bavarians hold a one-point lead over Borussia Dortmund and must put their best foot forward to keep the slender advantage intact.
However, they will be full of confidence heading into this fixture as they thrashed Schalke 6-0 in their previous match. They scored at least six goals in one Bundesliga game for the fifth time this season, more than any other side in a top-flight campaign in Germany.
Moreover, they have been formidable at home this season, winning 11 and drawing five of the 16 matches they have played in front of their fans.
Meanwhile, Leipzig will give their all to better their record against Munich, as they have won only once in their previous 16 meetings, drawing six matches and losing on nine occasions.
However, they have kept things tight at the back and have let in just six goals in eight Bundesliga away games in 2023, a league low. Across Europe’s top five leagues, only Serie A champions Napoli have let in fewer goals on their travels since the turn of the year (five).
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Bayern have a few players in the treatment room like Alphonso Davies (thigh), Lucas Hernandez (knee), Manuel Neuer (leg) and Josip Stanisic (muscular).
Neuer's deputy Yann Sommer is also not keeping well but if he manages to overcome his illness before the match he should continue to stand between the sticks. Otherwise, Sven Ulreich will slot in place of him.
