Bayern Munich versus Red Bull Leipzig: Who will come out in Top 4 clash? | OneFootball

Bayern Munich will play for one final time in 2024 on Friday. Barring last weekend's 2-1 defeat against Mainz, it has been a good Bundesliga campaign for the record champions. Bayern will look to end the year on a positive note by collecting all three points against RB Leipzig at Allianz Arena.

There is a lot to play for RB Leipzig and other teams in the top four of the Bundesliga. A win on Friday will mean Leipzig will get closer to Bayern. They currently sit in fourth position, six points behind Die Roten. Let us look at how this rivalry has developed and who will come out on top this Friday.

The Breakdown

Bayern Munich will have their hands full this week when they have to square off against an uncanny riser who took German football by storm in a rivalry so new they don't even have a proper name for it. A rivalry that started not too long ago, it has risen to one of the best in the Bundesliga in recent times, properly propelling itself to the forefront of the beautiful game. It is a game that draws a crowd and makes the viewer sit on the edge of their seat until the final whistle blows.

These two teams are undoubtedly capable of winning the league and have shown that they have what it takes to do so on several occasions. The question that I pose is: how will Bayern best their opponents in this tantalizing derby?
