Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig – Match preview and team news

Team News

Vincent Kompany’s squad is in good health, with no injuries or suspensions to contend with. The returns of long-term absentees Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies have been welcomed, as the Bavarians compete on all fronts. Harry Kane, who has scored in all three previous rounds of this competition, will lead the line.

In contrast, Leipzig are dealing with several absentees. Chief among them are Castello Lukeba and teenage talent Assan Ouedraogo. Both are currently sidelined by knee issues and will be unavailable this evening.

Form

Bayern Munich

Bayern bounced back from a recent mini-wobble with an emphatic 5-1 win over Hoffenheim at the weekend. Prior to that convincing win, in which Luis Diaz scored a hat-trick, the German champions had won one in three across all competitions. Their lead in the Bundesliga has been cut to six points as a result.

Bayern, however, will take encouragement from their last meeting with Leipzig. Vincent Kompany’s side thrashed tonight’s opponents 5-1 in the Bundesliga last month.

RB Leipzig

Since that demoralising defeat to Bayern, Leipzig have remained inconsistent. Wins at Heidenheim and Koln have kept them in the Champions League places, though a home defeat to Mainz highlighted flaws. Leipzig are fourth in the Bundesliga table.

Predicted Lineups

Bayern Munich: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Davies; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Gnabry, Luis Diaz; Kane,

RB Leipzig: Vandevoordt; R. Baku, Orban, Bitshiabu, Raum; Seiwald; Schlager, Baumgartner; Diomande, Nusa, Romulo.
