Bayern Munich Lineup Predictions for Bundesliga clash against Heidenheim

It has been a disappointing week for Bayern Munich as they were knocked out of the DFB Pokal in the third round against Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern fought bravely after being reduced to 10 men in the first half. Manuel Neuer was given the marching orders for committing a foul on the last man and denying him a clear-cut goalscoring opportunity. Despite losing a player so early in the game, Bayern dominated Leverkusen but couldn’t recover once the visitors scored in the second half and eventually clinched a 1-0 victory.

Bayern will look to bounce back from this disappointment with a commanding performance when Heidenheim visit Allianz Arena on Saturday. Die Roten dropped points against Borussia Dortmund last weekend, which makes this game crucial in the context of Bundesliga points table.

The Bavarian club has a lead of four points at the top of the table. Vincent Kompany’s men would like to keep the lead as it is going into the Christmas break.

Heidenheim has endured a difficult Bundesliga season until now as they languish in the relegation zone. They are currently on a run of four consecutive defeats in the Bundesliga. It will be a humungous challenge for Heidenheim on Saturday to stop an impressive Bayern side.

Ahead of the penultimate home league game of 2024 for Bayern, let us look at the potential starting XI for the record Bundesliga champions.
