The last seven days have been tricky for Bayern Munich and Julian Nagelsmann. Die Roten suffered a shock defeat away at VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga, while the last-minute equaliser from Kingsley Coman spared them blushes against RB Salzburg in the Champions League.
The games are coming thick and fast, so Nagelsmann and Die Roten have an opportunity on Sunday to get things right. The Bavarian club will be looking for a victory and solid performance when they host Greuther Furth on Sunday. Rekordmeister remains at the top of the points table, but defeat at Bochum has trimmed their lead to six points.
The defeat away at Bochum further highlighted Die Roten’s poor defensive record in 2022. They are currently conceding too many big chances each game. The offensive department has bailed them out by outscoring the opposition, but eventually, things will catch up with them if they don’t improve the defensive organisation.
Nagelsmann has been changing system game to game basis, so it will be interesting to see what his thought process against Furth will be. This is the first big test for Nagelsmann as he looks to bring Die Roten back on track in different competitions. Let us look at the possible starting XI that will play at Allianz Arena on Sunday.
