Bayern Munich will travel to Austria for the club’s only friendly ahead of a very promising Rückrunde campaign. Jamal Musiala had hoped to make an appearance but has been ruled out as a safety precaution. Vincent Kompany will want his starters to put in a solid shift before yielding playing time to the reserve and academy players.
The “other” Bundesliga leaders, RB Salzburg, have struggled mightily in Europa League competition and will focus on their own performance rather than the end result.
