Bayern Munich will be back in action this weekend and will be facing Holstein Kiel.As you might recall, Bayern Munich was unceremoniously bounced by Holstein Kiel in the DFB-Pokal during Hansi Flick’s final season with the club (FCBayern.com):Bayern have a score to settle with Kiel from the only previous competitive encounter. That came in the second round of the 2020/21 DFB Cup when a 6-5 defeat on penalties saw the holders knocked out by the then Bundesliga 2 side in wintery January conditions at the Holstein-Stadion.Even with Holstein Kiel struggling with its promotion, this should be a fun match for fans to soak in after the international break. Let’s take a look at what we have on tap for this episode:A look at where each team is in the table and the recent form of each squad.What to watch for with Holstein Kiel.A remembrance of the #ArpTrain movement (RIP).A look at Bayern Munich’s injury situation.A guess at Bayern Munich’s starting XI.A prediction on the match.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
