#3 Bayern face Ajax with crisis talks on the front burner

The Bavarian giants are going through a rough patch
The Bavarian giants are going through a rough patch

It’s unarguable; Bayern Munich has not had a good start to the season. Defeat to Hertha Berlin and the draw with Augsburg have sent alarm bells ringing at the Allianz Arena. The four wins in the first four Bundesliga games failed to disguise the team’s struggles.

Bayern’s failure to strengthen in the summer was head-scratching and it may hunt them big time this season.

They will be taking on an Ajax side that has started the season well enough. Buoyed by the presence of old heads like Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Dusan Tadic, and Daley Blind, Erik ten Hag’s young side currently sit second on the Eredivisie table.

They were fantastic in the opening day 3-0 win over AEK Athens and will know that the Bavarian giants are currently vulnerable. Arjen Robben and co. know the value of early qualification. After recent wobbles, the match against the 5-time UCL winners will be seen as an opportunity to steady the ship.
