Bayern Munich gave the signal – even if it wasn’t needed, it’s obvious – both last week with the crushing victory against Eintracht Frankfurt away and in the German Cup match against Leipzig. Eleven goals scored in two matches and four conceded for Nagelsmann’s team, who prove to be a steamroller in front, but concede a little at the back. Of course, that certainly doesn’t jeopardise the result against Wolfsburg, who drew on their league debut against Werder Bremen.
In order to fix these constant back-footings, Bayern have put former Juventus man De Ligt in their squad. Although as confirmed by the coach, not even tomorrow should the Dutchman be seen from the first minute: “I don’t see any reason to change at the back,” said the coach, who should therefore not put any of the men who have been on the bench up to now on the bench. Details, however, that do not jeopardise tomorrow’s result. There are very few doubts – we would say none – about Bayern Munich’s victory, which they should also sweep through as they have done in these first two official outings of the season.

The Prediction
No problem for hosts Bayern Munich, who will take their second league win in a row in a match that should also give them three goals in total. At least three goals in total, to put it better, as the Bavarians are proving themselves to be a team capable of scoring regularly, but also of failing to keep their goals unbroken. It matters little now, when all they need is the three points.
