"After a couple of setbacks in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich have bounced back well in the last few days. They got back to winning ways in the league with a 5-1 win against Hoffenheim on Sunday, while their DFB Pokal run was extended to the semi-final on Wednesday with a 2-0 win against RB Leipzig. Vincent Kompany was able to hand starts to most of their key players against RB Leipzig since he brought them off early in the second half against Hoffenheim."
"Despite the dominance shown by Bayern in the recent games against them, RB Leipzig were the better side in the early exchanges on Wednesday. The visitors had the ball in the net through Christoph Baumgartner in the fourth minute, but the Austrian midfielder was marginally offside when the ball left the feet of Yan Diomande. Die Roten woke up after RB Leipzig's disallowed goal to gain control of the game. The hosts dominated the possession and started creating chances in the final third."
"The home side stepped up in the second half and got better with their usage of the ball in the final third. They created an xG of 2.40 in the second half, which was more than thrice the first half (0.70). Die Roten moved the ball better along the ground and also went direct whenever needed. A swift move after the hour mark, so Josip Stanisic makes a sublime run on the right"
Bayern Munich recovered from recent setbacks with a 5-1 league win over Hoffenheim and a 2-0 DFB Pokal victory over RB Leipzig to reach the semi-final. Vincent Kompany restored most key players and selected Josip Stanisic ahead of returning midfielder Konrad Laimer at right-back. RB Leipzig threatened early with a disallowed Christoph Baumgartner goal, but Bayern seized control, dominating possession and creating multiple chances. Manuel Neuer denied a strong David Raum effort. Bayern significantly improved in the second half, producing an xG of 2.40 versus 0.70 in the first half and combining ground play with direct moves.
