Key Takeaways
- Vincent Kompany selects Bayern Munich starting eleven ahead of crucial PSG Champions League tie
- Relegation-threatened 1. FC Heidenheim aim to exploit potential lack of focus from the hosts
- Jamal Musiala starts for Bayern while Kevin Ramaj keeps goal for the visitors
Vincent Kompany has announced his starting team for Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga encounter with 1. FC Heidenheim. The Bavarian giants face a potential distraction as they prepare for a major Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain next week. This divided attention could offer Frank Schmidt’s relegation-battling side a rare opportunity to steal points at the Allianz Arena.
Heidenheim are fighting desperately to avoid the drop this season. They will hope Bayern’s players have their minds on European affairs rather than domestic duty. A positive result in Munich would provide a huge boost to their survival hopes.
The home side line up with Jonas Urbig in goal. The defence includes Josip Stanišić, Min-jae Kim, Jonathan Tah, Hiroki Itō and Konrad Laimer. In midfield, Tanguy Ndiaye, Aleksandar Pavlović, Leon Goretzka and Jamal Musiala will look to supply service to forward Jackson.
The visitors start with Kevin Ramaj in goal. Marnon Busch, Patrick Mainka, Jonas Föhrenbach and Lennard Behrens form the back line. Eren Dinkçi, Jan Schöppner, Marvin Dorsch and Eljon Ibrahimović operate in midfield, supporting the attacking pair of Budu Zivzivadze and Marvin Pieringer.
