Red Bull Salzburg will face Bayern Munich at the Red Bull Arena Salzburg on Monday in a mid-season friendly between the two clubs. The home side have endured a rather torrid campaign, prompting the exit of head coach Pep Lijnders less than seven months into his reign at the club with the team 10 points off the top of the Bundesliga.
Former Bochum boss Thomas Letsch has now been appointed as the new boss, with the German returning to Red Bull Salzburg after exiting the club in 2017. He will be looking to guide the Red Bulls to strong performances in their mid-season friendlies before they make their return to competitive action later in the month.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, have impressed in the German Bundesliga this season and are now pushing to reclaim the league title after missing out to Bayer Leverkusen last season. The Bavarians will head to Austria next week for their only friendly outing of the winter break.
