#3 Robert Lewandowski to win the golden boot again
Robert Lewandowski was on fire last season and we expect the Bayern Munich star to keep banging in the goals again this year.
Trending
Bayern have changed their coach, but it’s unlikely their playing style will differ too much. Nagelsmann used several players in the number nine role at Leipzig, but Lewandowski will be the automatic starter in that position.
Lewandowski has won four successive golden boots in the Bundesliga and will look to make it five in a row. Last season, the Polish forward broke Gerd Muller’s incredible record of 40 goals in a season. Lewandowski will hope to match the German's record of seven gold boot awards.
#2 Young players to shine in the Bundesliga after a quiet transfer window
Bundesliga sides aren’t known for spending a lot of money, and the financial implications of COVID-19 have made it even harder to do business this summer.
The German top-flight has been a breeding ground for some of the top young players in Europe, and we expect that to continue this season.
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have two of the most talented young players in Jamal Musiala and Youssoufa Moukoko, and they will get more minutes this season.
Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig have Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai, and the latter will be among the players to watch out for after being reunited with former Red Bull Salzburg coach Jesse Marsch.
#1 Bayern Munich’s quality will see them make it ten in a row
Bayern Munich haven’t let their standards slip in the last nine seasons, and even in some difficult circumstances, they have always managed to come out on top.
The managerial merry-go round in the Bundesliga could make things interesting in the first few months as the sides try to acclimatize to new styles. But when the dust settles, expect Bayern Munich to come out on top.
The Bavarians have lost two top quality centre-backs in Jerome Boateng and David Alaba, but signed an able replacement in Dayot Upamecano.
Bayern haven’t made any new attacking additions, but as mentioned before, expect Jamal Musiala to play a bigger role in the Bundesliga next season.
