In the new season AS Monaco is not yet happy with success. The southerners failed the long-awaited start in the Champions League, but the start in the Europa League was a success. For four rounds in the current championship of the group stage, the “red-whites” have never lost. Two successful matches and draws brought eight points and the first position in the standings. After a draw with Real Sociedad (1:1), the Monegasques snatched four points from PSV (2:1 and 0:0). In the Ligi1 tournament Niko Kovacs’ wards scored five victories and three peaceful outcomes for 13 rounds, which corresponds to 18 points and 11th position in the standings. After a successful duel with Montpellier (3:1), the Primorsky team lost to Brest (0: 2) and drew with Reims (0:0). One cannot fail to note the rather modest performance of the team in the attacking line, which hit the opponents’ goal 17 times. Today Mayetskiy, Fabergas and Matatso, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play.
FC Bayern fully justifies the advances given to them before the start of the season. Julian Nagelsmann’s team leads the table after 11 rounds. In the last rounds the Bavarians managed to break away a little from the main and so far the only real competitor Borussia Dortmund is four points behind, Freiburg is six points away. They managed to move away from the strong team of Christian Streich due to a 2:1 victory over them in a face-to-face meeting in the last round. The griffins did not show much resistance, scoring a goal of prestige towards the end of the meeting. The victory was the fourth in a row for the Munich club in the Bundesliga. In today’s match, Thomas Muller can set a unique record. If the midfielder appears on the field, he will become the first footballer in Bundesliga history to reach 600 matches in this tournament.
