Königsdörffer and Jatta lead the attack: HSV line-up to face Bayern | OneFootball

HSV faces FC Bayern in the top match of the 20th Bundesliga matchday. We provide you with the line-ups for the match at the Volksparkstadion.

For the first time in over eight years, the North-South summit is taking place in Hamburg again! The first edition after the Hanseatic club’s promotion last summer was clearly decided by Munich at the start of the season with a 5-0 win.

In front of their own fans, the Red Shorts now want to do much better—especially since Merlin Polzin’s team has been waiting for a win in the Bundesliga for five matches now.

But will this dry spell end of all times against the German record champions? There’s reason for hope after last weekend, when Bayern lost 1-2 to FC Augsburg and suffered their first defeat of the season. Coach Vincent Kompany has therefore announced a reaction from his team.

HSV: Polzin surprises with Mikelbrencis

In front of regular keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes, Polzin relies on a back three of Nicolas Capaldo, Luka Vuskovic, and Daniel Elfadli. The latter moves into the starting eleven in place of Jordan Torunarigha, who had recently impressed with solid performances. On the full-back positions, Miro Muheim starts, as does William Mikelbrencis, somewhat surprisingly.

In central midfield, Sambi Lokonga returns alongside ever-present Nicolai Remberg after calf problems. Added to this is the skillful Fabio Vieira, who is expected to shuttle between the playmaker position and the half-spaces.

Up front, Polzin starts Ransford Königsdörffer and Bakery Jatta, who has mainly been used as a wing-back in recent weeks. Rayan Philippe and Robert Glatzel, on the other hand, are left with only the role of substitutes. For the first time, Louis Lemke will also be on the bench. The HSV U17 jewel has made it into the professional squad for the first time.

The line-ups at a glance:

HSV: Heuer Fernandes, Mikelbrencis, Capaldo, Vuskovic, Elfadli, Muheim, Remberg, Lokonga, Vieira, Jatta, Königsdörffer

FC Bayern: Neuer, Stanisic, Upamecano, Minjae, Davies, Pavlovic, Kimmich, Olise, Karl, Gnabry, Kane
