The Bayern program is here! Goretzka and Neuer in the starting line
FC Bayern starts against FC Augsburg with regular goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in goal. The keeper recently had to delay training due to rib problems, but is now back in time for the game.
Daniel Peretz was available to replace Neuer. Sven Ulreich, number two behind Neuer, is missing from Bayern until further notice for personal reasons.
In addition, Leon Goretzka is in the starting eleven in the Bundesliga for the second time this season. Due to injuries to Joao Palhinha and Aleksandar Pavlovic, the midfielder slips into the starting line-up and creates the double six with Joshua Kimmich. The 29-year-old recently started in the 1-0 win over St Pauli. Goretzka, who was considered a candidate for sale in Munich during the summer, has only previously featured as a substitute.
Newer? “You have to trust him”
“He has experience. Then you have to trust him now,” said Kompany before the duel on DAZN. He knows his body and he said this morning that everything is fine and he can of course play football and you never know. But he has the experience and you have to trust him.”
The Belgium coach said of Goretzka: “We are very happy. People watch who plays when and how much. When I talked about the group, they always trained at full speed in training. Leon did that too. A person is happy because he plays a lot. Sometimes the other person is not happy because he doesn’t play.” Goretzka himself also deserved the effort against the FCA.
“It shows that as a footballer you always have to stick with it. At some point your chance will come. “Sometimes it comes earlier, sometimes later,” it was said DAZN-Expert Tobias Schweinsteiger and confirmed Goretzka’s “enormous quality”. But sometimes the coach might have a different opinion with a different type of player. “I’m glad he’s back. I think he will be able to show his qualities again today,” said the brother of 2014 world champion Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Official leagues: FC Bayern – FC Augsburg
Bayern: Neuer – Davies, Kim, Upamecano, Guerreiro – Goretzka, Kimmich – Coman, Musiala, Olise – Kane
Augsburg: Labrovic – Schlotterbeck, Gouweleeuw, Matsima – Giannoulis, Onyeka, Wolf – Rexhbecaj, Maier - Tietz, Claude-Maurice
An interesting aspect of the game was the performance of both goalkeepers. Manuel Neuer, FC Bayern’s starting goalkeeper, has a save rate of 53% this Bundesliga season, which is just above Augsburg’s Nediljko Labrovic’s 57%. However, Neuer has only had to save 15 shots on goal so far, while Labrovic has seen three times as many shots with 46 shots. These numbers show the different defensive strengths of the two teams and could play a role today as well in who has the upper hand.
Augsburg’s challenge against the league leaders
FC Augsburg face a difficult task when they face the current Bundesliga leaders. In the last 19 games against a leader, Augsburg could only manage two wins. Interestingly, both of those wins in recent Friday duels have come against league leaders – including an impressive 2-1 win against FC Bayern in November 2021.
Augsburg will be hoping to continue this streak, especially since they recently went without a win in three games in the Bundesliga and ended their negative record of seven consecutive defeats.
In the form of Bayern and Musiala at the top of his game
FC Bayern München are in great form at the moment, especially in defense. For the first time since December 2018, Munich managed to keep four games in a row without conceding a goal. Offensively, Jamal Musiala is a key player with six goals in his last five competitive games. Interestingly enough, he was never directly involved in a goal in seven Bundesliga duels against FC Augsburg. That statistic could be put to the test tonight as Bayern look to continue their dominance against FCA and consolidate their lead.
