Bayern Munich Predicted Lineup vs SC Freiburg<\/h2>\n

How Bayern Munich Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n

Bayern began their Champions League match in the Netherlands as follows: Manuel Neuer was in goal, as the back four was made up of Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae, and Alphonso Davies. Meanwhile, Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka held midfield positions, as Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman, and Harry Kane were the ineffectual front four.<\/p>\n

That means that coach Vincent Kompany made two overall changes to his previous first 11. He brought in Musiala for Olise in the playmaker role, while moving the Frenchman to the right and taking Coman to the left for the benched Leroy San\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n

Any time a big club like Bayern find themselves on the receiving end of such a disastrous scoreline as they did in midweek, there are some major questions being asked. Yet, it has to be said that the team had won the four previous encounters, and for what it\u2019s worth, they even dominated Feyenoord in every statistic except the one that counts.<\/p>\n

Tactically, Bayern have no reason to doubt the 4-2-3-1 setup, only its offensive execution of late. Kane in particular has not scored a goal from open play since November, his only goals came from penalty kicks since then. This is particularly concerning.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich Injuries to Consider<\/h3>\n

In his pre-match press conference<\/a>, Kompany said that he assumes that Sacha Boey and Joao Palhinha, will return to the squad.<\/p>\n

That leaves Daniel Peretz, Hiroki Ito, and the newly injured Davies on the injury list. Meanwhile, Laimer is out with a yellow card suspension.<\/p>\n

When asked what he plans to do on the outside backs on either side, the coach said that there will either be a natural or a\u201d creative\u201d solution to the problem.<\/p>\n
