RB Leipzig take on Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup this weekend - here we have everything you need to know regarding the fixture.

The first bit of silverware in the German calendar year is up for grabs as these two giants face off. There are plenty of new faces in Munich that will be looking to get their first taste of glory with their new sides. Sadio Mane, Matthijs de Ligt, Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui will all be itching to make an impression in their first competitive fixture, as well as Xavier Schlager for RB Leipzig - who joined from Wolfsburg for just over £10 million.

The most important bit of business in the window however for RB Leipzig was keeping hold of French international Christopher Nkunku - who was nothing short of remarkable for them last season. He's a key player and holding on to him may be better than any signing they could have made.

We're massively excited for the football to be back - so let's get into things.

Here's everything you need to know about RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup 2022.

RB Leipzig have two major injury worries to key players. Striker Youssef Poulson is out with a muscular problem, whilst hot prospect centre-half Josko Gvardiol is also suffering from a long-term thigh injury. Both won't feature.

Bayern on the other hand have some injury woes themselves. German midfielder Leon Goretzka was unavailable for pre-season and will also miss this clash with a knee injury. Bouna Sarr is the other worry, who probably won't feature as he's on the recovery from an injury and lacks match fitness.

No sides have any suspension issues to worry about.

RB Leipzig Potential XI:
Gulacsi; Simakan, Orban, Halstenberg; Henrichs, Kampl, Laimer, Angelino; Nkunku, Silva, Olmo

Bayern Munich Potential XI
Neuer; Davies, Hernandez, De Ligt, Mazraoui; Kimmich, Gravenberch; Sane, Muller, Mane; Gnabry

This fixture has been dominated by Bayern in the past - but will it be different without Robert Lewandowski? We don't think so.

Bayern's team is still remarkably strong on paper and will now have new boy Mane leading the line. We'll say 2 - 1.
