Munich (dpa / lby) – Today (5.30 p.m.), FC Bayern Munich can play a home game in the Bundesliga in front of a larger audience for the first time in almost a year and a half. With the new coach Julian Nagelsmann and the Munich players, this increases the anticipation of the game against 1. FC Köln. “We’re all looking forward to the game, a home game in front of 20,000 spectators,” said Nagelsmann in the run-up to the game in the Allianz Arena.
The German series champion would like to transfer the momentum of the Supercup win to everyday life in the league and celebrate the first win of the season after the opening draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach. “Like against Dortmund, we have to go to the limits because Cologne is in a good mood,” said Nagelsmann.
Against Borussia, Munich had won 3-1. The match winner was once again Robert Lewandowski, who would like to score again against Cologne one day after his 33rd birthday. Sven Ulreich should be in the Bayern goal for Manuel Neuer, who is injured in the foot. Cologne had a successful start into the new season with a home win against Hertha BSC.
