VS
The 2006/2007 Bundesliga season kicks off tomorrow with Bayern playing host to BVB. The last match between the two sides was meaningless and ended 3-3.
Dortmund usually has a hard time getting a result in Munich, but they really have a decent chance this time around. BVB has been awesome during preseason while Bayern has struggled. However, that does not mean anything anymore as both sides should be fired up to start the new season.
The big concern for BVB is the loss of Woerns who is currently serving the last two games of his four game suspension. Brezenska, who has not impressed me much at all will take his spot. Look for the Bayern forwards to attack Brezenska as much as possible.
Bayern also has some injury issues with Karimi being out and both Demichelis and Lucio listed as doubtful.
Expected starting lineups:
Bayern Munich: Kahn – Sagnol, Lucio, van Buyten, Lahm – Salihamidzic, Ottl, Hargreaves, Schweinsteiger – Makaay, Podolski
Borussia Dortmund: Weidenfeller - Degen, Brzenska, Metzelder, Dede - Kruska, Kehl, Pienaar, Kringe - Frei, Valdez
Prediction:
My heart says 3-2 Dortmund... but my head tells me 2-2 or 2-1 Bayern.
Hoping for a great season from these two:
Anyway, good luck and may the BEST team win.
