Bayern Munich will square off against RB Salzburg in a friendly at the FC Bayern Campus Platz 1 on Friday (January 13) as they return to action after a two-month hiatus.
Bayern last played Schalke in the Bundesliga in November, recording a 2-0 win, thanks to goals from Serge Gnabry and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. This will be their first and only friendly of the month before they resume their Bundesliga campaign next Friday against RB Leipzig.
Salzburg, meanwhile, will also be playing their first game in two months. However, unlike Bayern, they will not play a competitive game this month, as they resume their Austrian Bundesliga campaign in February.
Bayern are atop the German Bundesliga, while Salzburg are atop the Austrian Bundesliga, so the game should make for an interesting watch.

Bayern Munich vs RB Salzburg Prediction
The Bavarians are on a ten-game winning streak across competitions and are unbeaten at home. They have kept six clean sheets in ten home games across competitions, and the trend could continue.
Salzburg, meanwhile, have not beaten Bayern but have scored against them in all four meetings.
As the two teams are playing their first game in over two months, they could be a bit rusty. Nevertheless, considering Bayern's dominance against the Austrian team, they should eke out a comfortable win.
