Bayern Munich to win @ 1.83 odds on Bet9ja

Betting code: 3DLDNGG

Bayern Munich has dominated this fixture, failing to lose in the last 12 meetings. The Bavarians have also won the last four meetings, with three of those coming in the Bundesliga. While Leipzig has won the most home points this season (19), Bayern has won the most points on the road (17). However, the defending champions have a higher quality and a better cutting edge than the Red Bulls, which is why we think Bayern will win.
