Bayern Munich and Leipzig want to extend their respective winning streaks in the German Bundesliga when they meet on Saturday.

Bayern recorded wins against Cologne (4-0) and Hertha Berlin (4-1) to stay at the top of the league with 49 points from 20 games.

Bayern have won seven of their last eight Bundesliga games. Robert Lewandowski, who scored a hat-trick against Cologne and is also the top scorer in the Bundesliga with 23 goals this season, is once again expected to show his brilliance here.

Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann will not be able to use Leon Goretzka and Alphonso Davies in this game due to injury or illness. Also absent are Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Bouna Sarr, who are both playing in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Leipzig are also inspired after posting wins against Mainz (4-1), Stuttgart (2-0) and Wolfsburg (2-0). The Red Bulls are currently in sixth place with 31 points from 20 games.

Marcel Halstenberg has an injury and will not feature here while Amadou Haidara is playing in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Bayern beat Leipzig 4-1 in September in the first meeting between the two teams this season. Lewandowski, Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane and Maxim Choupo-Moting scored goals to lead the Bavarians to their second straight win in this series. Only Konrad Laimer scored for Leipzig, who last beat Bayern in 2018.
