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

The Bavarians are flying at the moment with three consecutive wins in all competitions while getting eight victories, and two draws from their last 10 encounters. Yet, Bochum will be a very different kind of test for Kompany\u2019s team, as they are fighting for their sporting lives.<\/p>\n

Kompany also talked about having the same preparation for each match, regardless if it is against \u201cBochum or Borussia Dortmund\u201d. He nonetheless admitted that because of the congested match calendar, there will be significant rotation in the squad. Tactically, the 4-2-3-1 formation will likely remain the same though.<\/p>\n

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

In midweek, Neuer embarrassingly injured himself during a goal celebration against Leverkusen. The team captain will likely miss the remaining matches before the upcoming international break. Apart from that, Aleksandar Pavlovic is still out with illness.<\/p>\n
