Top clash with HSV: Here’s Bayern’s starting XI | OneFootball

Bayern will face Hamburger SV at the Allianz Arena on Saturday evening. At 6:30 PM, FCB will play their third Bundesliga match of the season. Which starting eleven will coach Vincent Kompany choose?

So far, things have been going well for FC Bayern in the Bundesliga: the Munich side have won both of their first two games. Before the Champions League opener, the record champions are looking to build confidence and defend their lead at the top of the table.

With Hamburger SV, the reigning German champions face a supposedly out-of-form team, which has traditionally struggled at the Allianz Arena. However, the Red Shorts managed to strengthen their squad with some strong signings in the final days of the transfer window. Who will Kompany choose for his starting eleven on Saturday evening?

New signing Nicolas Jackson on the bench

Vincent Kompany has decided not to go with the same lineup as last time in Augsburg. Manuel Neuer, as usual, will be in goal. The back four will once again consist of Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, and Konrad Laimer. Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic will play in the double pivot, while up front, and unsurprisingly, Luis Díaz, Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane will lead the attack. These four stars also formed the attacking line in the 3-2 win over Augsburg.

New signing Nicolas Jackson is included in the squad for the first time and will initially take a seat on the bench. However, it seems quite possible that the Senegalese international will get his first minutes of action against Hamburg.

Logically, Munich go into the match against HSV as clear favorites. In addition, they want to go into the upcoming Champions League match against Chelsea with plenty of confidence. Kompany’s team will host the newly crowned Club World Cup winners next Wednesday evening at the Allianz Arena (9:00 PM).
