📋 Team News: RB Leipzig

Xaver Schlager (Muscle injury), Willi Orbán (muscular problems), Péter Gulácsi (concussion) and Benjamin Henrichs (Achilles tendon rupture) won’t be playing for RB Leipzig gaffer Zsolt Lőw.

We think that Leipzig should go for a 4-4-2 formation this time and select Maarten Vandevoordt, Kosta Nedeljkovic, Lukas Klostermann, Castello Lukeba, David Raum, Kevin Kampl, Nicolas Seiwald, Amadou Haidara, Xavi Simons, Benjamin Sesko and Ikoma Lois Openda.

📋 Team News: Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich boss Vincent Kompany has some current player fitness concerns. Raphaël Guerreiro (Torn muscle fiber), Jamal Musiala (Torn muscle bundle), Tarek Buchmann (Fitness), Hiroki Ito (Metatarsal fracture), Dayot Upamecano (Cartilage damage) and Alphonso Davies (Cruciate ligament tear) can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that Bayern will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Jonas Urbig, Konrad Laimer, Josip Stanisic, Eric Dier, Sacha Boey, Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Michael Olise, Thomas Mueller, Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry.

💡 Prediction

We envisage that Bayern Munich are likely to convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

At the other end, RB Leipzig might well find it difficult to score but we think it’s quite likely that they will be scoring as well.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a pretty comfortable 1-3 winning score for Bayern Munich at the end of the 90 minutes.
