Challenge a friendThe new Bundesliga season kicks off with FC Augsburg facing Bayern München in what promises to be a tightly contested encounter. Both teams have refreshed their squads over the summer, with Augsburg bolstered by the arrivals of Seol Young-Woo, A. Ibrahimović on loan, and Abdulay Bah on loan, while Bayern have added I. Saibari and N. Brown to their ranks but parted ways with L. Goretzka. This match will test how well these changes have gelled as the campaign begins.
