Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich opens the new season at home to RB Leipzig on Friday

The Bundesliga is back as titleholder Bayern Munich gets its defense up and running at home to RB Leipzig on Friday in an early battle between two giants of German soccer. Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany put Die Roten back on top of the table last term but is now under pressure to prove he can build a dynasty like those seen at the Allianz Arena over the years in the past. Leipzig, meanwhile, is beginning a rebuild from scratch under new manager Ole Werner after Marco Rose could only take the team to seventh in the league last term.

It would be an understatement to suggest the Red Bulls were disappointed with that finish outside the Champions League places, with Leipzig in fact missing out on Europe altogether this season.

More than two years have passed since Leipzig last got the better of Bayern in the Bundesliga, though it did manage to scrape a share of the spoils when the two teams met in May.

A last-minute leveller from Yussuf Poulsen dented Die Roten’s spirits in Saxony, though it wasn’t enough to prevent Bayern getting its hands on the Bundesliga crown that same weekend: 

Benjamin Sesko has departed Leipzig for Manchester United this summer, leaving Lois Openda to lead the line in his stead, while summer signing Johan Bakayoko should line up on the wing for his Bundesliga debut.

The major arrival for Bayern this summer is Luis Diaz from Liverpool, with the Colombia forward set to play a big role in aiding Harry Kane’s push for another title.
