Werder Bremen-Bayern Munich, the likely formations

The new Bundesliga season kicks off with the match between Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich. Kickoff at 8:30 p.m. at the Weserstadion in Bremen. The Bavarians, defending champions, will want to make up for the heavy defeat they suffered in the German Super Cup against Leipzig (0-3). The green-and-whites fare no better, fresh from their elimination in the German Cup against Viktoria Koln, a club playing in the third division.

Tuchel immediately launches new signings Kim and Kane into the starting lineup: the former will partner former Juventus man De Ligt in defense, while the latter will occupy the center of the attack, supported by the trident Sane, Musiala, Gnabry in the three-quarter.

Among the hosts Werner relies on Ducksch in the center of the trident, with Fullkrug and Kownacki on either side of him. Bittencourt in the box, while Weiser and Jung will act on the outsides. In goal is Pavlenka.

Likely lineups.

WERDER BREMA (3-4-3): Pavlenka; Veljkovic, Stark, Friedl; Weiser, Bittencourt, Stage, Jung; Kownacki, Ducksch, Fullkrug. All. Ole Werner

BAYERN MONACO (4-2-3-1): Ulreich; Pavard, Kim, de Ligt, Davies; Kimmich, Laimer; Sané, Musiala, Gnabry; Kane. All. Thomas Tuchel
