Team news & squads
Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig Probable lineups
Vincent Kompany will be without Jamal Musiala and Tarek Buchmann through injury. Manuel Neuer is also a doubt after missing training with a foot problem, and Kompany has indicated the decision on his availability will be made closer to kick-off. The projected XI features Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Alphonso Davies, Josip Stanisic, Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, Ismael Saibari, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Joshua Kimmich and Harry Kane.
Martin Demichelis is without Christoph Baumgartner, Forzan Assan Ouedraogo, Marc Guiu and Viggo Gebel. Leipzig's projected starting line-up is built around Maarten Vandevoordt in goal, with Ridle Baku, Willi Orban, David Raum and Castello Lukeba in defence, and Christopher Nkunku leading the attack alongside Romulo Cruz and Antonio Nusa. Updates to both squads will be confirmed closer to kick-off.
Form
Bayern Munich have won three, drawn two and lost none of their last five matches across all competitions. Their most recent outing was a 3-3 draw at Viking Stavanger in the Champions League, where they recovered from 0-2 down to lead 3-2 before conceding a 90th-minute equaliser. Before that, a 2-2 draw at Augsburg in the Bundesliga interrupted a run that had included a 7-0 win over Union Berlin and a 5-0 victory against Bodø/Glimt. Across those five games, Bayern scored 17 goals and conceded six.
RB Leipzig have won two and lost three of their last five fixtures, with no draws in that run. Their most recent result was a 1-0 Champions League win over PSV Eindhoven, secured by Brajan Gruda's 74th-minute strike. That followed a 6-0 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. Leipzig scored 14 goals across those five matches but also conceded ten, reflecting a side capable of both dominance and defensive vulnerability.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent meeting between these sides was a pre-season friendly on 15 August 2026 at the Allianz Arena, which Bayern won 3-1. In competitive fixtures, Bayern have been dominant: a 2-0 DFB-Pokal win in February 2026 and a 5-1 Bundesliga victory in Leipzig in January 2026 are the standout results. Across the last five meetings in all competitions, Bayern have won three and drawn two, with the only points dropped coming in a 3-3 Bundesliga draw in Leipzig in May 2025.
Standings
In the Bundesliga table, Bayern Munich sit third and RB Leipzig fifth, meaning both clubs are within striking distance of the top as the early-season picture takes shape. A win for either side on Saturday would significantly strengthen their position in the title race.
