He is aware that a loss might mean they have nothing to show for their excellent start under new coach Vincent Kompany. Last Saturday, Bayern suffered their first league defeat of the year, losing 2-1 to Mainz. They are currently only four points ahead of the reigning champions, Bayer Leverkusen. For Munich, who have missed the England captain’s inventiveness and goals, Kane’s return is welcome. Before straining his hamstring in November, he had played 19 games across all competitions, scoring 20 goals and dishing out nine assists.
“I’m not going to say whether he will start the match or not, the last training session (Thursday) is important,” Kompany added.
However, if all goes according to plan, he will undoubtedly play a part tomorrow (Friday).
Harry has a knack for lining up around the penalty spot. He also greatly aided us in our defensive efforts. The difference he makes is in the box, where he is among the finest in the world. Few players are capable of doing it.
Musiala attributes his ability to “go up a level this season” to Kompany, who shifted his international allegiance from England to Germany shortly after joining Bayern.
Leverkusen, led by Xabi Alonso, has been playing well lately after struggling to overcome their title hangover early in the season. They have won seven straight games across all competitions, including defeating Bayern in the German Cup final 16 in Munich.
During the winter break, a victory will provide a four-point cushion. However, Leipzig has recently outperformed the German powerhouses, trailing Bayern by six points in fourth place.
In their last five meetings with Leipzig, Bayern has only triumphed once, including twice in Munich.
This season’s silent achievers Freiburg, who are in fifth position ahead of Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart of the Champions League, will play Leverkusen.
After a stellar start to the season, third-place Eintracht Frankfurt is now winless in four games. However, they will try to pick up where they left off against derby rivals Mainz.
Felix Nmecha of Borussia Dortmund is one to keep an eye on.Felix Nmecha, who replaced Jude Bellingham a year and a half ago, has made a name for himself in the center of Borussia Dortmund’s midfield.
Nmecha has been the ideal bridge between defense and offense after a season marred by injuries at the Westfalenstadion, during which some questioned if Dortmund had overpaid for the Hamburg-born Manchester City academy product.
Nmecha’s play has earned him a spot back in Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany team because of his calmness on the ball and goal threat.
On Sunday, the 24-year-old will play his old team, Wolfsburg, with eight-place Dortmund only one point above their opponents in the bottom part of the standings.
Important statistics15–12th place In 14 games, Union Berlin has let up 15 goals. The only team with fewer goals given up is league leaders Bayern Munich, with twelve.
