The German national team is back in action and has two very winnable games during this international break. With Luxembourg and Slovakia on deck, the Germans should be well-poised to pick up two victories.

Against Luxembourg, Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann should be able to play with his lineup a bit, but against Slovakia, Nagelsmann will have to be on-point. Last time around, Slovakia stunned the Germans 2-0 and Nagelsmann will want to avoid a repeat of that flat performance.

This is what we have on tap for this episode:

• A look at the player selections by Nagelsmann.
• A rundown of the previous results.
• How Nagelsmann might approach each game.
• A prediction on each match.

Bayern Munich sputtered into the international break with a 2-2 draw against Union Berlin.

While it was tough watch at times, there is no reason to panic…right? Right?

Right — and let’s talk about why, plus more on the next edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show:

• The aftermath of Bayern Munich’s 2-2 draw with Union Berlin. How are fans feeling? Did Vincent Kompany go to the well one too many times? Was the team tired, uninspired, or both?
• Do Bayern Munich fans appreciate just how good Joshua Kimmich is?
• Dayot Upamecano is getting more suitors (Manchester United, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid) and things are not progressing with Bayern Munich. Are the obstacles too much to overcome? Should they be?
• Would Ibrahima Konaté be a good successor if Upamecano leaves?
• Jamal Musiala could take a little longer to get back.

Bayern Munich will be traveling to Berlin to square off with The Iron Ones in a match that — on paper — seems like just another team that the Bavarians should dominate.

• What to watch for with Union Berlin.
