Kim Min-jae v Seol Young-woo: Korean derby on cards at Augsburg
Post
๐ฐ Bayern Munich return from the international break with a Bavarian derby away at Augsburg.
๐ Key points
๐๏ธ Kick-off is 3.30pm local time on 10 October in Augsburg.
๐ฐ๐ท If Kim Min-jae and Seol Young-woo both play, it will be a Korean derby.
๐ Neither player is in the Bundesliga's predicted line-ups.
๐ Seol has made four league appearances this season, all from the bench, with one assist.
โ ๏ธ Augsburg won 2-1 in Munich last January.
๐ What happened
๐ฐ๐ท Seol joined Augsburg this summer and set up a goal within a minute of coming on for his debut, a 3-0 win over Schalke on 30 August. He has since come off the bench against Frankfurt, Leverkusen and Bremen, playing 48 league minutes in total.
๐ก๏ธ Kim was left out of South Korea's game against Uzbekistan during this international window because of accumulated fatigue. The Bundesliga's predicted XI has Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah at centre-back for Bayern.
๐ Augsburg's predicted side has a back three of Matsima, Gouweleeuw and Brackelmann, with Wolf and Behrens as wing-backs. For a Korean derby, both players would probably need to come on as substitutes.
๐ฉน Bayern are without Jamal Musiala, who is recovering from a torn muscle fibre in his thigh. Augsburg are missing Banks, Mouniรฉ, Sakar and Suso, with Breithaupt and Kade doubtful.
๐ By the numbers
โข Bayern: 10 points from four games (2nd)
โข Augsburg: 7 points from four games (4th)
โข Seol: four league appearances, 48 minutes, one assist (all as a substitute)
โข Last meeting, 24 January: Augsburg won 2-1, ending Bayern's 27-game unbeaten league run
๐ What to watch
๐ฐ๐ท Korean derby โ whether Kim and Seol share the pitch is the big question for Korean fans. Seol named Kim as his role model when he joined.
โ ๏ธ January's upset โ Augsburg came from 1-0 down with goals in the 75th and 81st minutes. Bayern have a debt to repay.
๐ฅ Top-four clash โ the sides are second and fourth, three points apart. Augsburg went top of the league for the first time in their history after a 4-1 win at Frankfurt in September.
๐ฉน No Musiala โ who fills the gap behind Harry Kane is worth watching. The predicted XI has Olise, Saibari and Dรญaz.
๐ญ Why it matters
With Dortmund top after four straight wins, Bayern cannot afford to drop points in the derby. For Kim, it is a chance to put a difficult international window behind him and win back minutes.
Kick-off is 3.30pm CEST on Saturday 10 October (10.30pm KST) in Augsburg.
