Bayern Munich and Arminia Bielefeld will lock horns for the first time in nearly 12 years when they square off this weekend at the Schuco Arena. This is the first meeting between the two sides since the 2008/09 league season, and Bielefeld could probably not have asked for a tougher opponent to resume their campaign against after the international break.
The defending champions seem to have recovered from that shock 4-1 loss to Hoffenheim earlier in the season, bouncing back with victories over Hertha Berlin in the league and Borussia Dortmund in the Super Cup before the international break. Neither of the wins were strong defensive performances, with Bayern shipping in five across the two games, but they did get the job done on the attacking front, as shown by the quality of chances in this expected goals map.
