Team News

RBL
Bayern
  • It remains to be seen how much manager Ralph Hasenhüttl will rotate after a Europa League game in Russia on Thursday.
  • Expect some rotation, with players like Emil Forsberg possibly being rested here as a result.
  • Thiago Alcántara's injury from Wednesday's win over Besiktas is not as bad as first feared but he will still miss out here.
  • Mats Hummels was also forced off in midweek and may not feature here as a result.
  • Head coach Jupp Heynckes is expected to shuffle his pack on Sunday, which should benefit a returning Sebastian Rudy and James Rodríguez.

Prediction

  • RB Leipzig have only picked up two points from their last four league matches and are struggling with an intense schedule at the moment. They might suffer from fatigue again here, after a difficult Europa League trip to St. Petersburg on Thursday.
  • Bayern Munich will be the fresher side here, as they were able to rotate in their Champions League game against Besiktas on Wednesday. Rotation is expected nonetheless and some players from the bench might want to recommend themselves to the manager here.
  • Expect Bayern to try to dominate the game from the outset and Leipzig to wait for opportunities on the break.

  • well, total shots: 14-1 (50th minute). so good thing Lewandowski is on the bench, right guys?

  • but taking off the best midfielder (James) and playing the no.9 on the right wing was even better and more inspired idea, very wengeresque

  • WTF Bernat in 1st eleven on left side, Josef Heynckes want to lose this match from start or smth, also Lewy should start to play earlier form 45 or 60 minute at least. One thing wich explain 1st eleven of Bayern is Injury list : Kingsley Coman Out 7.21 Thiago Alcántara Out 7.42 Corentin Tolisso Doubtful 6.95

  • How much does Whoscored writer Josh Wright earn to copy and paste fake news from Mundo Deportivo? "Real Madrid agree terms with Robert Lewandowski". I wish I had a job like that and that I could earn easy money by not doing any tiresome research work, and that I could leave my unchecked crap online even after Real Madrid issues an official denial statement. The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of harsh physical punishment for the propagation of fake news.

  • @BeautifulLoser I want that job too :D

  • @Cannavaro69 I guess you would apply because of the prospect of physical punishment, am I right?

  • Leipzg to win, BTTS

  • Great performance by Leipzig today. Deserved victory.

  • RBL 1X
