One hour until kickoff: We have lineups! Looks like Vincent Kompany isn’t taking this one too seriously. That’s basically a B-team. Still, Alphonso Davies and Harry Kane are in the XI — their first starts under the new coach. How will this set of players perform?
Bayern Munich play one final preseason friendly before the start of competitive football this season — the last chance for Vincent Kompany to get any experiments out of his system. This time, the opponents are WSG Tirol, a team from the other (Austrian) Bundesliga, who finished 2nd from the bottom last season and barely escaped relegation. While hardly pushovers, they’re not Champions League caliber opponents (then again, neither were Tottenham).
How will Bayern approach this one? Will Harry Kane start? Will we see any new names in the starting XI? What of the youngsters — will they get more of a chance? Join us as we find out!
