Prediction: 2-4
Bayern Munich
Holstein-Stadion will host a David-vs-Goliath clash between Holstein Kiel and Bayern Munich. The newcomers made a slow start to the season, with the team suffering back-to-back defeats to Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg and they will have yet another mountain to climb on Saturday afternoon. To make things even worse for the home side, all Marco Komenda, Carl Johansson, Timo Becker, Steven Skrzybski, and Colin Kleine-Bekel remain in the recovery room.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, are determined to regain the Bundesliga trophy and seeing that the club chiefs did well to reinforce the squad in the summer transfer window, away win should be considered. The likes of Leroy Sane, Daniel Peretz, Hiroki Ito, and Josip Stanisic miss out with injuries, but Vincent Kompany can count on key players for the round 3 clash. Three years ago Holstein Kiel surprisingly eliminated Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal last 32, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):
Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
