Bayern's hunt for the tenth consecutive title begins with a young and competitive team entrusted to the emerging Nagelsmann after the formative experiences at Hoffenhein and Leipzig.
Bavarian favorites, with the usual mix of young and experienced with only Upamecano instead of Alaba.
Lewandowski's goals, after the record season, should lead to a new triumph, but the start will be challenging tonight at Moenchengladbach.
Dortmund may also have some problems receiving Frankfurt, easier for Leipzig's task in Mainz even if they upset their defense by giving up Upamecano and Konate for over 80 million.
