Bayern Munich host RB Leipzig on February 24 as they look to revive their Bundesliga title challenge.
Thomas Tuchel’s decision to step down at the end of the season comes on the back of a poor run of form in recent weeks as the defending champions trail leaders Bayer Leverkusen by eight points.

Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig prediction
Bayern Munich face an uphill battle to claw back Bayer Leverkusen in the title race with their Champions League progress also in the balance in the coming weeks.
Despite their issues, a return to Munich is important — after three successive away games — and Tuchel’s charges have lost just once at the Allianz Arena in league action this season.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 1-0 RB Leipzig
