Bayern's performance without Kane is significantly worse, with an average of 1.5 points per game compared to 2.6 with him in the lineup. This highlights Kane's importance to the team.
RB Leipzig, on the other hand, has its own strong striker in Benjamin Sesko, who has scored eight goals and provided four assists at home this season. He has also scored in his last two games against Bayern.
Despite not having Kane, Bayern still has a strong team, with midfielder Michael Olise shining in his first season in Germany. He has set up a league-high 12 assists and has been involved in 11 goals in the second half of the season.
Bayern has created the most big chances in the league, but Leipzig has allowed the second-most big chances against them this season. Leipzig needs to reverse this trend to have a chance of earning a Champions League spot.
RB Leipzig's interim boss, Zsolt Low, is aware of the importance of getting all three points, especially with Borussia Dortmund, Mainz, and Werder Bremen within three points behind them. However, history is against Leipzig, who have only lost one of their last 10 games against Bayern.
The match is likely to see goals in the first hour, as both teams have conceded few goals in the final half hour of games. Bayern has scored the most goals in the final 30 minutes of matches, while Leipzig has struggled in the second half of the season, winning only four of their 14 games.
Despite the challenges, Leipzig can't afford to lose, and the game can still go either way. If Bayern is complacent, Leipzig's players like Sesko, Xavi Simons, and Lois Openda can take advantage.
