It’s the first game of the season for the Bayern Munich women!
The FC Bayern Frauen kick it off in the women’s edition of the DFL-Supercup against familiar foes VfL Wolfsburg. The Bavarians bested the She-Wolves 4-2 in last year’s Supercup, and went on to a domestic double with the Bundesliga title as well.
“It’s the first chance to win a title. We want to keep raising our standards, hone our style of play and improve every single player both physically and technically. Such hard-fought and challenging matches help our team grow,” said Bayern coach José Barcala in his pre-match comments captured via FCBayern.com.
Added center-back Glódís Viggósdóttir: “It’s always special to play against Wolfsburg. We share a history of great and thrilling encounters – I love such matches. I’m really looking forward to a match where there’s something at stake.”
According to the club website, Bayern will be missing Anna Klink, Giulia Gwinn, Vanessa Gilles, Edna Imade, Franziska, Lena Oberdorf, and Sarah Zadrazil.
Prediction: Bayern wins, 3-2. It’s usually never smooth at the start of the season but the Bavarians are a cut above and that should — eventually — show out.
It’s Bayern time.
