"José Barcala made seven changes to the starting line up from the victory against Leipzig in the Red Bull Arena; only Ballisager, Oberdorf, Bühl and Harder retained their place, with a return to action for Club Captain Glódis Perla Viggósdóttir in the heart of the defence. Katharina Naschenweng alsogot her first league start since returning from injury. In other good news for Bayern: Giulia Gwinn was fit enough to be a part of the Matchday squad."
"The Bayern XI was as follows: Mala Grohs (GK) - Tuva Hansen, Glódis Perla Viggósdóttir (c), Stine Ballisager, Katharina Naschenweng - Lena Oberdorf, Sarah Zadrazil - Klara Bühl, Arianna Caruso, Alara Şehitler, Pernille Harder As you would expect, Bayern were dominating possession from the off. However, they were struggling to combine and had many periods of play that were undone by an overhit/under-hit pass, which proved a frustrating watch at times. The first notable chance for Bayern came in the 23rd minute, where an Alara shot from the edge of the box blazed over the bar. Alara was at the end of another chance in the 27th minute, after some great work by Oberdorf on the left, but her shot from inside of the box was sliced wide. This was probably Bayern's best spell of the match, and if not for the crossbar, Bayern would have had the breakthrough after a curled shot from Harder over the keeper from the left."
Bayern returned home against Carl Zeiss Jena after consecutive league wins. Jena finished 11th last season and avoided relegation due to league expansion. Manager José Barcala made seven changes to the starting XI, with the captain Glódis Perla Viggósdóttir returning and Katharina Naschenweng starting after injury; Giulia Gwinn was available on the bench. Bayern dominated possession from the start but lacked cohesion and precision in passing. Key chances fell to Alara and Harder, with one effort striking the crossbar. Jena defended resolutely and goalkeeper Hannah Etzold produced impressive reactions to deny Bayern before half-time.
