Meaning that coach Vincent Kompany changed the team in two positions compared to the previous week. Kim and San\u00e9 came in for the injured Raphael Guerreiro and Kingsley Coman, who was benched, respectively.<\/p>\n

The two recent victories against 1. FC Heidenheim and Mainz showed that team morale is fully intact, even after the painful Champions League exit. Kompany\u2019s side are hungry for success. They want to wrap up the Bundesliga title as soon as possible, and then go as far as they can in the summer\u2019s Club World Cup in the United States.<\/p>\n

In terms of tactical formations, it is not always easy to say whether they will go with their traditional 4-2-3-1 setup or a slightly different blueprint. However, for the Leipzig game in particular, they will likely choose their familiar style, albeit with a false nine up front.<\/p>\n

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

Kane picked up his fifth yellow card of the season last week, meaning he is suspended for the match in which he could win his first career major title. In terms of actual injuries, Bayern are still without Jamal Musiala, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, and Guerreiro.<\/p>\n

Kompany said in his pre-match press conference<\/a> that Friday\u2019s final training session would determine whether or not Manuel Neuer will be able to make his return in goal.<\/p>\n
