This is the Bayern Munich predicted lineup for their Bundesliga matchday five encounter with VfL Bochum. After their turbulent 4-3 victory against Manchester United, the Bavarians will certainly be looking to improve their defensive game while perhaps making some squad rotations for the first time this season. This is also another opportunity to take the lead in the Bundesliga table ahead of Bayer Leverkusen. That may seem secondary so early in the term, but for this team, it is always important.

Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka tend to play in the holding midfield roles, while there is some rotation as far as the attacking midfield trio is concerned and Harry Kane is the front man.
Bayern Munich Recent Form and Tactics
The Bavarians have won four games and drawn one in all competitions since the start of the Bundesliga season. The problem has been the defensive side of the game though. Apart from their 4-0 victory against Werder Bremen, to start the league campaign, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in all of their matches.
The goal has to be to defend better, which may not necessarily be an issue against relegation candidates Bochum but surely will be down the road.
Bayern Munich Injuries to Consider
Apart from captain Manuel Neuer, they mostly enter this match at full strength. But after the first midweek fixture of the season and ahead of several more in the coming weeks, some rotation may well be in order.
