Bayern
RBL
  • Niklas Süle could get a chance in the back-three if manager Jupp Heynckes decides to give Jérôme Boateng another break.
  • Javi Martínez has overcome injury and could get a chance to start in central midfield.
  • James Rodríguez provides an option in central attacking midfield if he recovers from back problems in time for kick-off, with Sebastian Rudy, Corentin Tolisso and Arturo Vidal offering more defensive-minded alternatives in this position.
  • Lukas Klostermann challenges Bernardo for the spot at right-back.
  • Diego Demme was rested in the DFB-Pokal clash with Bayern on Wednesday night and could return to partner Naby Keita in central midfield.
  • Timo Werner, who only came on from the bench in the cup as well, is expected to return up front.

Prediction

  • Bayern are back on track in all competitions after manager Jupp Heynckes' return to the club, but struggled in the 1-1 cup draw with Leipzig on Wednesday night, before they progressed to the next round on penalties. They need to improve in possession again and become more versatile in their passing.
  • Leipzig were level with Bayern in the DFB-Pokal encounter, but a second yellow card for central midfielder Naby Keita possibly cost them the chance to overcome the Bavarians. Away from home they will now face a more difficult task, but with rested players like Diego Demme and Timo Werner returning, they might have the tools to trouble the defending champions again.
  • Expect Leipzig to put in another brave and high-pressing display, but Bayern to be favourites to edge an exciting encounter.

    in fact Leipzig were far better in 1st half against Bayern, who played nothing in that period, if they start top gear from the off it can be cracking match as predicted 3-2 or 22
