Predicted Bayern line-up: Will Kompany rotate against Brugge? | OneFootball

FC Bayern faces Club Brugge in the Champions League. Here's how Munich's starting lineup might look.

In the third group stage match of the Champions League, FC Bayern will host Club Brugge on Wednesday evening (9:00 PM, live on DAZN).

The Munich team wants to continue their strong run after two victories. It remains to be seen how much coach Vincent Kompany will rotate following the 2-1 victory in the Bundesliga top match against Borussia Dortmund last Saturday.

In goal, as usual, will be captain Manuel Neuer. In front of him, a back four with Sacha Boey on the right, Minjae Kim and Jonathan Tah in the center, and Konrad Laimer on the left could play. Against BVB, Dayot Upamecano was still in central defense, but the Frenchman might get a break.

Jackson as the center forward for FC Bayern?

In central midfield, Kompany might rely on Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka if Aleksandar Pavlovic takes a break.

In front, a trio with Michael Olise, Harry Kane, and Luis Díaz will likely provide creativity, pace, and goal threat.

In the center forward position, Nicolas Jackson might start, allowing Kane to drop back as he did against Dortmund.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany warned before the duel with the Belgian champion: “Brugge is a hardworking team, that's very Belgian. They have repeatedly been able to achieve good results in Europe. They are not an easy opponent, they are very dangerous.”

Brugge coach Nicky Hayen said: “Our goal is to make them doubt their self-confidence a bit. If that succeeds, you can create chances, and that's exactly what we will try.”
