Preview: Bayern vs Leipzig

After a surprise home draw with Werder Bremen, the onus was on Bayern Munich to pick up all three points against Stuttgart in their last league game, and despite some nervy moments, die Roten were able to depart with a 3-1 win. With qualification to the Champions League round of 16 sealed, Hansi Flick rang the changes for their penultimate tie against Atletico Madrid, resulting in a one-all draw, but it will be the Spaniards who are the bitterly disappointed side with that result. Players like current top league scorer Robert Lewandowski did not feature due to muscular fatigue, but the Polish star is expected to make his return for this upcoming crunch clash against Leipzig on Saturday afternoon as Bayern aim to stay well ahead of the chasing pack.

Meanwhile, Lepizig, who have won three of their last five Bundesliga times, come into this game having survived a topsy-turvy seven goal thriller against Istanbul Basaksehir and now have kept their hopes of qualifying for the round of 16 intact. Die Roten Bullen will have to beat Manchester United on matchday six in order to ensure safe passage, but before Julian Naglesmann's side turn their attention towards that must-win fixture, first they'll be hoping to get one over on the side who blocked them from winning the Bundesliga title during the 2016/2017 season.

Notably, Leipzig's last trip to Munich saw them record a scoreless draw, making them the only side to pick up a point against die Roten in the league as they steamrolled past the opposition during their treble winning campaign last term. Manuel Neuer will be hoping to match a long-standing record in this match - if he can keep another clean sheet, he will pull level with Oliver Kahn's 196 shutouts, but that may be a lot easier said than done as Bayern have had to come from behind in their last three matches.
