-------------------------------------
Bayern Munich
The home team will be without the services of Manuel Neuer, Joao Palhinha, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, Sacha Boey, Hiroki Ito, and Josip Stanisic. Meanwhile, Konrad Laimer’s availability is a doubt after he pulled out of training this week. While Harry Kane is back fit, he is unlikely to be risked from the start.
Bayern Munich will stick to the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Daniel Peretz in goal. Raphael Guerreiro will fill in at right-back, while Alphonso Davies will take charge on the left. In the heart of the defence, Dayot Upamecano will pair up with Kim Min-jae.
As for the midfield unit, Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic will form the double pivot. They will look to shield the backline and control the tempo of the game. Jamal Musiala will be the attacking midfielder, while Leroy Sane and Michael Olise will be providing the width to their attacks. Thomas Muller will continue to lead the line for Bayern Munich against RB Leipzig.
RB Leipzig
Marco Rose will be without the services of Castello Lukeba, Amadou Haidara, Eljif Elmas, Assan Ouedraogo, Xavi Simons, and Yussuf Poulsen The visitors will line up in a 3-5-2 formation, where Peter Gulacsi is expected to be back in goal.
In the heart of the defence, Lutsharel Geertruida will start alongside Willi Orban and Nicolas Seiwald. The back three will be looking to keep things tight and they will receive significant support from Benjamin Henrichs and Antonio Nusa, who will be the wing-backs.
As for the midfield unit, Christoph Baumgartner will partner Xaver Schlager and Kevin Kampl in the middle of the park. They will look to ensure Bayern do not end up dominating the proceedings. They will look to create chances for their front two Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko.

Peretz; Guerreiro, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Musiala, Sane; Muller

Prediciton: Bayern Munich 2-1 RB Leipzig
Bayern's defence has struggled to cope amidst an injury crisis, and considering a number of defenders could miss out on Friday, Leipzig may have opportunities to capitalise on mistakes in the backline. However, the visitors are yet to prove that they have overcome the issues that have plagued them in recent weeks, and given Bayern boast an exceptional home record, the hosts should be considered favourites.
