The Bayern Munich Frauen are back in action! A topsy-turvy performance midweek against Juventus ended in a 2-1 victory for the Bavarians that they were lucky to walk away with…but we’ll take it.
Now it’s
out of the Women’s Champions League and back into the Bundesliga with a home match against Köln. The injury situation is not getting any better for Bayern; the club announced that midfielder Arianna Caruso, who started against her former club on Thursday, is out for ‘around three to four weeks’ with a shoulder injury after sustaining a fall. Bayern has options — Lena Oberdorf is still easing her way back into regular playing duty — but coach José Barcala’s bench was already looking thin.
Köln has not had a good start to the year and sit comfortably in the bottom half of the table. This should be an opportunity for the Bavarians to sharpen their clinical edge in attack. But they’ll need to be careful…
Prediction: Bayern wins none too convincingly, 2-0, in the kind of professional result you love to celebrate when it’s all said and done.
It’s Bayern time.
