Bayern Munich will begin the defence of their Bundesliga title when they play host to Bayern Leverkusen in the Bundesliga opener tonight.

After a bit of a shaky start to the season, Bayern Munich ended up winning Bundesliga by 15 points. RB Leipzig, which surprised many observers, finished second, while Borussia Dortmund finished in third place. The general consensus is that until Borussia Dortmund is able to field a stronger club, Bayern Munich will be in no danger of finishing in anything but first place in the league.

Bayern Munich will still be playing with a chip on their shoulders this season, however, as they disappointed in Champions League and will want to get back onto the road to dominance.
