Team News

FC Heidenheim
Bayern
  • Long-serving head coach Frank Schmidt has almost a full-strength squad at his disposal for the final stretch.
  • Budu Zivzivadze has missed the last couple of games, but if the striker is fit he will likely start up front with Marvin Pieringer.
  • Mathias Honsak is struggling with a muscle injury and will be assessed nearer the game.
  • Manuel Neuer suffered a muscle tear and will not be rushed back into action. New signing Jonas Urbig will probably continue in goal.
  • Eric Dier has never let anyone down in his Bayern career so far and is good option in central defence, as another defender Min-Jae Kim has an Achilles injury which needs monitoring.
  • Jamal Musiala is ruled out for several weeks with a thigh injury. Alphonso Davies suffered an ACL tear and will miss the rest of the season. Dayot Upamecano is back in light training after suffering a knee injury, while Hiroki Ito broke his foot recently.

Prediction

  • Heidenheim enjoy all week to focus on their Bundesliga bread and butter, while Bayern have a quick turnaround after their Champions League agony at the San Siro.
  • Bayern lost a two-goal lead in a 3-2 defeat under doubting Thomas Tuchel in April, the last time Heidenheim managed to come from behind to win.
  • Overall, FCH have won only three times in 24 league games which explains their occupying the relegation playoff place, seven points from safety.
  • Bayern, the league's highest scorers with 83, have scored five goals in a Bundesliga game five times this season, and have conceded the fewest goals as well, 29.
  • The reverse fixture ended 4-2 in FCB's favour and anything other than a Bayern win would be a surprise, despite the league leaders lack of rest and recuperation.
