Bayern Humiliates Promoted Schalke 3-0
5 Sep
Summary
- Schalke lost 3-0 to Augsburg on their return to Bundesliga.
- Bayern have won the last five matches against Schalke.
- Luis Diaz is a key attacking threat for Bayern Munich.
Schalke's return to the Bundesliga was marked by a disappointing 3-0 loss to Augsburg on the opening weekend. The team was further hampered by a red card, finishing the match with ten players and struggling to establish any foothold.
Historically, Schalke has found it difficult against Bayern Munich, with the Bavarians winning the last five meetings. Schalke has also failed to score in their last six home league games against Bayern. Key player Ron Schallenberg is expected to be suspended for the upcoming match, weakening Schalke's midfield.
Bayern Munich, having secured a 5-1 victory over Stuttgart in their season opener, appears strong. While Harry Kane is still seeking his first league goal, Luis Diaz has emerged as a significant attacking threat. Bayern also recently won the Supercup against Dortmund.
Vincent Kompany's side might be slightly affected by a DFB Cup fixture just three days prior to their league encounter. However, Bayern is still expected to secure a comfortable win against a Schalke side that conceded three goals against Augsburg and had a player sent off.
