Bayern will face FC Augsburg on Saturday evening at the WWK Arena. At 6:30 PM, FCB will play their second Bundesliga match of the season. Which starting lineup will coach Vincent Kompany choose?
On the first matchday, Bayern started the season with a spectacular 6-0 victory over RB Leipzig. They then secured a 3-2 win in the first round of the cup in Wiesbaden. Therefore, there seems to be little for coach Vincent Kompany to complain about so far. Against the third-division team, the Belgian chose a seemingly surprising starting lineup as he made several rotations.
However, the record champions will face a strong team in FC Augsburg, which seems to be in great shape, especially under new coach Sandro Wagner. Additionally, Bayern traditionally struggles against the Fuggerstadt team. So, who will Kompany choose for the starting lineup on Saturday evening?
Vincent Kompany opts for the same lineup that played against RB Leipzig. Manuel Neuer returns to the goal as expected. The back four consists again of Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, and Konrad Laimer. Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka take the double six positions, while Luis Díaz, Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise, and Harry Kane lead the attack.
In Augsburg, Bayern logically aims to secure their second Bundesliga victory and maintain their lead at the top of the table. FCA managed a 3-1 away win against SC Freiburg on the first matchday. Sandro Wagner's team will therefore approach Saturday evening's match with confidence. With a win, Bayern would reclaim the top spot in the standings.
