Bayern visit Gladbach: Kompany fires up the rotation machine! | OneFootball

In just under an hour, the ball will start rolling at Borussia-Park in Mönchengladbach. On the 8th matchday of the Bundesliga, FC Bayern is visiting Borussia Mönchengladbach. We provide you with the line-ups for the game.

Vincent Kompany and his team have little time to catch their breath. Three days after the 4-0 victory against Club Brugge, Bayern continues directly in the Bundesliga. The Munich team is visiting the bottom-of-the-table Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Looking at the current form curve of both teams, FCB goes into the duel as the clear favorite. The Foals have repeatedly proven to be an unpleasant opponent for the record champions in recent years.

Kompany rotates thoroughly

Personnel-wise, the situation at FC Bayern has somewhat relaxed. Serge Gnabry and Josip Stanisic return to the Munich squad. Gnabry recently complained of adductor problems, while Stanisic was out for nearly four weeks with a medial ligament injury. Both initially sit on the bench.

In front of Jonas Urbig in goal, who replaces FCB captain Manuel Neuer in the starting eleven, Kompany has opted for a back four with Sacha Boey, Dayot Upamecano, Minjae Kim, and Tom Bischof.

In defensive midfield, Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka start. Ahead of them, the 39-year-old Belgian relies on an offensive trio consisting of Michael Olise, Harry Kane, and Luis Diaz. Nicolas Jackson starts in the center forward position.

Compared to the 4-0 in the Champions League against Club Brugge, Vincent Kompany makes six changes in the starting eleven.

Substitutes are: Neuer – Tah, Gnabry, Guerreiro, Laimer, Mike, Karl, Stanisic, Pavlovic
