Team News: Bayern Munich
Raphaël Guerreiro (Torn muscle fiber), Min-jae Kim (Achilles tendon problems), Jamal Musiala (Torn muscle bundle), Tarek Buchmann (Fitness), Hiroki Ito (Metatarsal fracture), Dayot Upamecano (Cartilage damage) and Alphonso Davies (Cruciate ligament tear) are not available for Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany.
We are thinking that Bayern will probably line up in a 4-4-2 formation this time and select Jonas Urbig, Sacha Boey, Eric Dier, Josip Stanisic, Konrad Laimer, Michael Olise, Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Harry Kane.

Team News: Gladbach
Gladbach boss Gerardo Seoane has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Yvandro Borges Sanches (Muscle injury), Nathan Ngoumou (Achilles tendon rupture) and Moritz Nicolas (Adductor injury) will miss out on this game.
We reckon that Gladbach seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing T. Pereira Cardoso, Joe Scally, Ko Itakura, Nico Elvedi, Lukas Ullrich, Rocco Reitz, Julian Weigl, Franck Honorat, Kevin Stöger, Robin Hack and Tim Kleindienst.
🔮
Prediction
We believe that Bayern Munich should dominate possession and create several successful chances.
In contrast, Borussia Mönchengladbach might well find it a difficult task to break down their defence but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be hitting back at some stage.
Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for Bayern Munich after 90 minutes.
