There’s been a full rotation in the pivot with Joao Palhinha, Aleksander Pavlovic, Leon Goretzka, and Joshua Kimmich all getting starts there. Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sane, Kinsley Coman, Michael Olise, Thomas Muller, Tom Bischof, and Harry Kane have rounded out the attacking four.
Bayern Munich Recent Form & Tactics
Vincent Kompany has set up in his usual 4-2-3-1 with a focus on retaining possession. It’s one of the most fitting formations for such a controlled setup, with Kompany’s side focusing on short passing sequences and one-two’s to break free of opposition defenders.

The Bavarians got the tournament off to an incredible start blowing 10 past Auckland before an easy 2-1 win over Boca Juniors. Like a lot of teams they let the foot off the gas for one group stage outing as every team has been forced to rotate and pick their spots with the lack of breaks between matches. The 1-0 loss to Benfica certainly will dampen their momentum but they can shake it off knowing it was a one-off.
Bayern Munich Injuries to Consider
As of this writing, there is one player in the squad unavailable due to injury. Kim Min-jae was brought to the tournament but may not play as he’s recovering from an Achilles tear. Other defenders Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, and Tarek Buchmann are also injured so were left out of the squad.
