Bayern Munich Recent Form and Tactics
The Bavarians are three games without a win. Despite showing a strong team spirit and a lot of resilience of late, the lack of victories is all that they get from these three matches.

Tactically, the 4-2-3-1 formation will remain, due in large part to a lack of attacking players who could give the team other options. Kane is the only natural number nine, while Müller is the only player best suited to play behind him, given Jamal Musiala’s current injury.
Bayern Munich Injuries to Consider
Apart from Musiala, Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, and Hiroki Ito all remain out as well. In his pre-match press conference, Kompany expressed confidence that Upamecano would return before the end of the season.
