RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Bayern Munich have an exceptional squad at their disposal and will be intent on winning the Supercup this weekend. With Robert Lewandowski now at Barcelona, the likes of Sadio Mane and Serge Gnabry will need to shoulder the goalscoring burden for the Bundesliga champions.
RB Leipzig can pack a punch on their day but have been in poor form in their pre-season matches. Bayern Munich are in better shape at the moment and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: RB Leipzig 1-3 Bayern Munich
