Bayern Munich, under manager Vincent Kompany, The Bavarians have a formidable attacking lineup, led by Harry Kane, and are coming off a season where they scored 99 league goals. However, their defense has shown vulnerabilities, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last five competitive matches. Injuries to key players like Jamal Musiala (ankle) and others could test their depth, but new signing Luis Diaz has already made an impact with a goal in the Super Cup.
RB Leipzig, now managed by Ole Werner, had a disappointing 2024-25 season, finishing seventh and missing out on European football for the first time in nine years. Their summer began with a 4-2 win over Sandhausen in the DFB-Pokal, but their away form remains a concern, with only three wins in their last 18 competitive outings on the road.
