Bayern Munich are back in action with a men’s and women’s double header today. While the men take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League later in the afternoon, we start with a Frauen-Bundesliga match on the road at 1. FC Nürnberg.
It’s a Bavarian derby with two teams of contrasting fortunes. Nürnberg is sitting near — but not at — the bottom of the league and Bayern is coming off a 4-1 win against SGS Essen. However, as the FCBayern.com preview emphasizes, Nürnberg are the picture of perseverance, having won promotion to the top flight last season and having put up a strong campaign to stay up so far this year.
The venue: 50,000-capacity Max Morlock Stadium, also home to Nürnberg’s men’s team. This will be a good one.
Prediction: Bayern wins, 2-0 in a worthy tune-up test for the Arsenal match on November 12th.
Location: Nuremberg, Germany
