Bayern Munich face early season test in onerous Autumn fixture list
· Bundesliga-Official
Serial winners in Germany and regular protagonists in the latter stages of the UEFA Champions League, Bayern Munich are no strangers to difficult runs of fixtures. Even by the Bavarians’ phenomenal standards, though, their seven-game stretch before the next international break in November is a demanding one – to put it very mildly.
A UEFA Champions League trip to Norway is an unenviable task at the best of times, but Tuesday’s game at Viking Stavanger is one of the gentler assignments in a set of fixtures featuring games against the reigning Premier League champions, the current Bundesliga leaders, and Bayern ’s perennial rivals in Germany’s top flight.
After taking on free-scoring RB Leipzig on Matchday 6, Vincent Kompany ’s side welcome English title-holders Arsenal to the Allianz Arena in the Champions League a week on Wednesday before travelling to Freiburg , who currently occupy top spot in the Bundesliga after dropping only two points from 15 available so far.
