Can in-form Christopher Nkunku and Antonio Nusa fire RB Leipzig to victory against Bayern Munich?

· Bundesliga-Official

RB Leipzig could hardly have asked for a better time for Christopher Nkunku and Antonio Nusa to hit top form. The attacking duo have been at the heart of Leipzig’s recent goalscoring exploits and, with a huge trip to Bayern Munich coming up on Matchday 6, their pace, creativity and finishing should give the defending champions plenty to think about.

Nkunku's loan return to Leipzig has been a hugely welcome one for the Saxony club, and the Frenchman appears to be rediscovering the form that made him one of the Bundesliga’s most feared attackers during his first spell in Germany.

The 28-year-old produced a devastating display against Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 5, scoring a first-half hat-trick as Leipzig ran riot in a 6-0 victory . His three goals took his tally to four in the Bundesliga this season, having previously opened his account in the 5-0 demolition of Hamburg on Matchday 3.
