Team News

Bayern Munich
  • Jerome Boateng and Daniel van Buyten compete for a spot at centre-back.
  • Javi Martinez will most likely start ahead of Anatoliy Tymoshchuk.
  • Mario Mandzukic and Mario Gomez compete for the spot up front.
  • Bayern have announced that manager Heynckes will retire at the end of the season and Pep Guardiola will take over in the Bavarian capital in the summer.
Greuther Furth
  • Fürth could return to a 4-2-3-1 system again, with Gerald Asamoah dropping to the bench.
  • Lasse Sobiech will replace the suspended Mergim Mavraj at centre-back.
  • Heinrich Schmidtgal is injured, meaning Rahman Baba could keep his spot in the team for now.
  • With Edgar Prib out injured as well, Bernd Nehrig should get a chance in central midfield.
  • New signing Nikola Djurdjic won't be able to make his debut this weekend, because of an illness.

Prediction

  • Bayern have dominated the Bundesliga this season and they are nine points clear at the top of the table. The team is highly motivated and manager Haynckes has a lot of options on the bench.
  • Fürth are last in the table, with only nine points on the board so far and just one win from 17 games. The team needs to improve a lot to reach at least 16th place in order to avoid relegation.
  • Bayern will most likely dominate the game in all departments. They are heavy favourites at home.
