The 2025/26 Bundesliga season is set to start, and the first game will be between Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig.
Bayern Munich: The Champion Still Has Problems
Bayern Munich has been the most potent team in German football for the past decade, almost completely controlling the league. They have always met the standards of a European superpower because they have a strong base, a sophisticated tactical system, and world-class players.
But there are always problems behind the glory. At the start of the new season, Bayern needs to keep winning games and also show that they are good at making tactical changes and keeping the team together.
RB Leipzig: The New Power on the Big Stage
RB Leipzig has become a team that can’t be ignored in the Bundesliga in the last few years.
With the Red Bull group’s significant financial assistance, the team has quickly moved up the ranks of title contenders by carefully choosing players and developing young potential.
Leipzig hasn’t been able to beat Bayern yet, but they’ve given them a lot of grief in the past, even winning some big games.
Leipzig has a chance to test itself and improve when it plays Bayern away from home. If they can get points or even a win at the Allianz Arena, it would significantly lift their spirits and show how serious they are about winning the title.
Tactical Focus
This first game will be a fight between two different styles.
Bayern prefer to dominate possession, using wing play and central penetration to break down defences, while also relying on individual brilliance to unlock tight games.
Leipzig, on the other hand, thrives on intense pressing and rapid transitions, trying to disrupt Bayern’s setup and exploit defensive holes with pace and discipline.
The outcome will likely rest on control of the midfield and the efficiency of transitions between attack and defence. If Bayern can handle Leipzig’s pressure and take advantage of the gaps behind their defence, they will be in a better position.
On the other hand, if Leipzig can stop Bayern’s wide threats and take advantage of counterattack chances, they could win.
A Must-See Opener
For supporters, this isn’t just a football game; it’s a show. The first game is full of excitement and uncertainty because both teams have great rosters and different styles of play.
The outcome will set the tone for the whole 2025/26 Bundesliga season, which will be full of excitement and drama.
