The Bundesliga begins this Friday evening. Bayern Munich welcomes the RB Leipzig at the opening of the Allianz Arena (kick -off 8:30 p.m., a match to follow on FM). The Bavarians, reigning champions and recent winners of the Super Cup against Stuttgart (2-1), advance in favorites in this new exercise and want to start with a victory in this shock of German football. On the other hand, Leipzig, only seventh last season and deprived of Europe, must straighten the bar and a result on the lawn of the FCB would be an excellent signal.
For this meeting, Vincent Kompany must compose without Davies, Ito, Musiala or Pavlovic. It remains in 4-2-3-1 with Stanisic to the left of the defense. Two Blues hold with UpameCano in central defense, supported by Tah, and olise in support from Kane. Arrived from Liverpool this summer, Diaz begins to the left of the attack with Gnabry on the other side. Opposite, Ole Werner, a former Werder Bremen coach, is deprived of Henrichs or Maksimovic. He launched his training in 4-3-3 with the French Lukeba in central defense which accompanies Orban in front of the stainless Gulacsi. In the middle, Xavi Simons holds with Schlager and Seiwald. In front, Openda, passed by Lens, is accompanied by new arrivals Bakayoko and Diomandé.
