🗞️ Team News: Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany has not got a full squad to pick from. Daniel Peretz (Kidney problems), João Palhinha (Torn muscle bundle), Hiroki Ito (Metatarsal fracture), Josip Stanisic (strain), Jamal Musiala (influenza) and Sacha Boey (Ankle injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that Bayern might utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Manuel Neuer, Konrad Laimer, Min-Jae Kim, Eric Dier, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Michael Olise, Thomas Mueller, Leroy Sane and Harry Kane.

⚡ Prediction

We’re thinking that Bayern Munich should create a decent amount of chances and shots on target.

In contrast, Borussia Mönchengladbach will be up against it to make a breakthrough but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be scoring as well.

We’re therefore expecting to see a decent 1-3 win for Bayern Munich when the full-time whistle blows.
