FC Bayern will play its first preseason friendly today, Saturday. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. At the BRITA-Arena, Vincent Kompany’s team will face third-division side SV Wehen Wiesbaden. You can follow the action live via our live ticker and discuss the match in the comments section.
For the record champions, this is the first friendly of the new season. Bayern have only been back in training for a few days and are still without numerous first-team players who are still enjoying special leave following the World Cup. Accordingly, Kompany is relying on many young players against Wehen Wiesbaden.
It’s about to start!
Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. at the BRITA-Arena in Wiesbaden.
Here’s a look at Bayern’s lineup
As expected, Vincent Kompany is leaving out all of his established pros for now. Among others, Sven Ulreich, João Palhinha, Tom Bischof, Arijon Ibrahimović, Sacha Boey, and Armindo Sieb will start on the bench.
Instead, numerous young talents are getting their chance. Fans can be especially excited to see 16-year-old left back Richard Ajayi. Guido Della Rovere is also among the most interesting players in the starting lineup. Up front, Bastian Assomo—one of FC Bayern’s greatest offensive talents—will start.
Vincent Kompany is fielding a lineup consisting entirely of youth players. Here are the details.
Bayern’s starting lineup at a glance: Podar-Stiube – El-Chaar, Mijatovic, Pavlic, Ajayi – Matosevic, Della Rovere, Wilson, Schaff, Nuray – Assomo.
Pre-match info
FC Bayern kicks off the new season with a special friendly match. To mark the club’s 100th anniversary, SV Wehen Wiesbaden will host the German record champions at the BRITA-Arena.
While the Hessian side is already much further along in its preseason preparations, the Munich team is still in the very early stages. Many national team players remain absent, giving numerous academy prospects the opportunity to prove themselves for future appearances—possibly even for the trip to Asia.
Coach Vincent Kompany is therefore likely to focus less on the result and more on the development of his young players.
