Team News

Bayern
FC Heidenheim
  • Raphael Guerreiro is nearing a return from a muscle injury, while Matthijs de Ligt has suffered a knee injury.
  • Joshua Kimmich is suspended for one more game after his recent red card, while Jamal Musiala picked up a thigh injury in midweek.
  • Elidon Qenaj and Thomas Keller both suffered ACL injuries, while Marvin Pieringer also has a knock.
  • But barring late injuries long-serving head coach Frank Schmidt has a full strength squad at his disposal.

Prediction

  • A Harry Kane hat-trick helped Bayern cruise to victory in the "Klassiker" last weekend to bounce back from a DFB-Pokal embarrassment.
  • Promoted Heidenheim have had all week to prepare, while Bayern edged Galatasaray in midweek in the Champions League.
  • If football was all down to the theories of Expected Goals, Bayern would have won all their 10 games this season, while Heidenheim would have lost all theirs.
  • Perennial champions Bayern have scored in 37 Bundesliga games in a row, last failing to find the net in September last year.
  • Back Bayern and 15-goal Harry Kane to comfortably claim the three points, but Heidenheim have the firepower to find the net as well.
