Bayern Munich Predicted Lineup vs HSV

This is a Bayern Munich predicted lineup for their Bundesliga clash with Hamburger SV. The newly promoted side face a tough task as the Bavarians have looked impervious domestically, with four wins from four in the Supercup, Pokal, and league combined. With an international break behind them and the Champions League resuming it will be interesting to see how Vincent Kompany sets up.

Bayern Munich Predicted Lineup vs Hamburger SV for Bundesliga Tie

How Bayern Have Lined Up Recently

Manuel Neuer has resumed his duties as first choice goalkeeper now that he’s fit with Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano emerging as the first-choice centre-back pairing. Konrad Laimer has been starting as the right-back with Josip Stanisic starting on the left side of the defense.

In midfield, Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka are the preffered pairing in the defensive midfield spots with their partnership being one to watch. Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise, and Luis Diaz start across the attacking midfield line with Olise and Diaz being used as the wingers. Harry Kane has been the main man up front.

In a DFB Pokal tie there was some rotation, although less than you’d expect. That competition offered starts to Jonas Urbig, Kim Min-jae, Sacha Boey, Raphael Guerreiro, Aleksander Pavlovic, and Lennart Karl.

Bayern Munich Recent Form & Tactics

Kompany has stuck with his 4-2-3-1 setup as one of the more common formations for his style of football. Those who seek to control games are often using this or a 4-3-3 to recycle possession and probe defences. His setup allows the Bavarians to control games, having over 60% of the ball against Leipzig and over 70% in their cup game.

While they are undefeated and scoring goals for fun, the defensive side could prove to be a problem for the Bundesliga holders against top teams. They let in two against Wehen Wiesbaden from two shots on target, and two against Augsburg from just three attempts on target. Any stunting of their clinicality could see them lose out.

Bayern Munich Injuries to Consider

According to Sofascore, there are four players sidelined for this one. Alphonso Davies remains sidelined while Hiroki Ito and Jamal Musiala are injured, Tom Bischof is doubtful but won’t be risked from the start.
