FC Bayern Women are set to face RB Leipzig on Friday evening, just four days after their decisive 5-0 victory against VfB Stuttgart. This marks the eighth matchday of the Google Pixel Women's Bundesliga season. Bayern Women have been in exceptional form, extending their winning streak to seven games after their international break return.
Historically, Bayern Women boast a perfect record against RB Leipzig, winning all six previous encounters with a significant goal difference. The Munich club has also achieved 22 consecutive away wins in the Bundesliga, a testament to their consistent performance on the road.
RB Leipzig, currently sixth in the table, has found recent form, securing two consecutive wins without conceding a goal. However, they face a formidable challenge against Bayern, who have been relentless this season. Head coach José Barcala noted Leipzig's bold playing style from the back and stressed the importance of organized pressing and maintaining game balance.
The team will be without Lena Oberdorf, Jovana Damnjanović, and Giulia Gwinn due to injuries. Vanessa Gilles returns to the squad after recovering from a muscle injury. Klara Bühl is a key player to watch, as she has been directly involved in a goal for six consecutive league matches, a personal record.
