Team News

RBL
Bayern
  • Marcelo Saracchi is recovering from an ACL injury, while Marcel Halstenberg has an ankle injury.
  • Benjamin Henrichs is nearing a return as is Angelino. Youngster Josko Gvardiol has signed from Dynamo Zagreb and could keep out the ex-Manchester City man.
  • Brian Brobbey will compete with Andre Silva up front, but the latter will win that battle here.
  • Mohamed Simakan has signed from Strasbourg in France and has been impressive in defence so far.
  • Leipzig skipper Marcel Sabitzer has made the switch to Bayern ahead of this game, while Dayot Upamecano, another former Leipzig star suffered an injury on international duty with France. Corentin Tolisso and Kingsley Coman, also who got injured while away with France.
  • Manuel Neuer is fit after an ankle injury. Benjamin Pavard is fit after a knee injury, while Marco Roca is struggling with an ankle problem.
  • French World Cup winner Lucas Hernandez is nearing a return from a knee op and may replace Alphonso Davies at the back who only returned to training on Thursday, as did with Thomas Müller.

Prediction

  • For this meeting of Champions League participants, two new coaches are in situ as Jesse Marsch pits his wits against Julian Nagelsmann, returning to his former employer for the first time.
  • Leipzig skipper Marcel Sabitzer has made the switch to Bayern ahead of this game, but all eyes will again be on Robert Lewandowski. The prolific striker is looking to better his record 41 Bundesliga goals from last season. Lewy has notched in 16 consecutive games in all comps, and has already notched five goals in three Bundesliga games this term. Record champions Bayern have scored in 50 consecutive Bundesliga games.
  • Leipzig have only beaten Bayern once in five attempts on home soil, and have started with two defeats in three games.
  • Leipzig, with their own star striker Andre Silva, should fancy their chances of grabbing at least a point.
