FC Bayern Munich

Everything new at FCB! After the rather moderately successful last season, which ended the Munich with only one of the three coveted title, namely the sixth German championship in a row, Bayern are facing a major change. Already during the past season, it was announced that Niko Kovac will inherit coach legend Jupp Heynckes as a new strong man on the sidelines of the FCB.

Kovac made with the great successes, which he celebrated with the Frankfurt Eintracht, attention. His last game for the Hesse was the DFB Cup final against his new employer, which the Frankfurt could win 3-1. Coach Kovac has been awarded a three-year contract and, like all other former coach of Munich, is measured by success. As in the past few seasons, Bayern only win and, of course, they would love to win again.

The new coach is known to train very hard and has prepared his men well for the upcoming tasks. Bayern mastered the first two competitive games of the season more or less sovereign. In the Supercup final at Eintracht Frankfurt, where the cup winner meets the champion, they outclassed the Hessians 5-0 and took the first little title of the new season.

Last weekend, the first league game was on the plan. In the first round of the DFB Cup Bayern had to fourth division SV Drochtersen / Assel. Kovac made it clear before the match that he wants to return to Berlin as in the past two years, so he played full chapel. After the game, however, he only had congratulations for the opponent to forgive, because his team brought little to stall. In the end Bayern won by a goal from striker Robert Lewandowski in the 81st minute only just 0-1.

Coach Kovac said after his encounter that count solely on his advancement and he has with his team before the Bundesliga start on Friday against TSG Hoffenheim still a lot of work in front of him. In fact, because the Hoffenheim will demand the Bayern for the season opener everything.

Lineup Bayern Munich

With the exception of James Rodriguez and David Alaba, coach Kovac has all the men on board. It can be assumed that the same team starts, who played in the DFB Cup last weekend.

New – Kimmich, J. Boateng, Hummels, Rafinha – Javi Martinez – T. Muller, Thiago – Robben, F. Ribery – Lewandowski

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

Since the appointment of Julian Nagelsmann as TSG coach in February 2016, the Sinsheimer shape curve has been steadily rising. While last year they still had to play the qualifiers to the premier class and because of the late finalists FC Liverpool narrowly failed, qualified the Hoffenheimer due to the third place in the final table directly for the Champions League and mix in the concert of the greats.

That this will be the last season of the still young coach for TSG, was announced in the summer break. Nagelsmann was rightly associated with clubs like Bayern Munich or Real Madrid. Apparently he did not feel up to the task and so RB Leipzig won the contract.

Whether the early announcement of this change is now a curse or a blessing must be awaited. Everything was going according to plan in the season preparation at least so far. For the out-to-Schalke scorer Uth and the offensive whirlwind Serge Gnabry, in which the loan from the FCB ended, the Sinsheimer could selectively reinforce their options selectively extremely well. Bittencourt from 1. FC Köln, Belfodil from Werder Bremen, Grifo from Borussia Mönchengladbach and Joelinteon from Rapid Wien will wear the jersey of TSG in the future.

The latter drew attention in the first competitive game of the season last weekend in the first round of the DFB Cup. He contributed in the 1: 6 victory over 1. FC Kaiserslautern equal to three goals and was thus instrumental in the first small success.

For the start of the new Bundesliga season next Friday, the reigning champion is waiting in the Allianz Arena. Never could the Sinsheim win in Munich and want to change that as fast as possible.

Lineup TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

Coach Nagelsmann has to contend with considerable injury worries. Amiri (foot), Demirbay (outside ligament tear), Geiger (rehabilitation), Grillitsch (muscular problems), Hack (training backlog), Hübner (concussion), Kramaric (inner stretch in the knee), Nordtveit (knee problems) and Rupp (rehab) are all missing on Friday.

Baumann – Bicakcic, Vogt, Posch – Kaderabek, Zuber, N. Schulz – Bittencourt, Grifo – Joelinton, Szalai
