📰 Team News: Bayern Munich

Kingsley Coman (Fitness), Jamal Musiala (Torn muscle bundle), Aleksandar Pavlovic (Mononucleation), Manuel Neuer (Torn muscle fiber), Tarek Buchmann (Shoulder injury), Dayot Upamecano (Cartilage damage), Hiroki Ito (Metatarsal fracture) and Alphonso Davies (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing for Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany.

We think that Bayern will possibly make use of the 4-2-3-1 system in the match, beginning the first half with Jonas Urbig, Konrad Laimer, Eric Dier, Min-Jae Kim, Josip Stanisic, Joshua Kimmich, Joao Palhinha, Michael Olise, Raphael Guerreiro, Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane.

🗞️ Team News: Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund boss Niko Kovač has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Filippo Mané (Muscle injury), Marcel Sabitzer (Knee medial ligament tear) and Nico Schlotterbeck (Meniscus tear) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

There’s a good chance that Dortmund appear most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Gregor Kobel, Julian Ryerson, Emre Can, Waldemar Anton, Ramy Bensebaini, Pascal Gross, Carney Chukwuemeka, Karim Adeyemi, Julian Brandt, Maximilian Beier and Serhou Guirassy.

🧠 Prediction

Borussia Dortmund should be able to find the net against this Bayern Munich outfit, but it possibly won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re tipping a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Bayern Munich at the end of this one. It really should be an interesting one.
