Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich: Predicted Starting XI

GK, Manuel Neuer- The game against Paris Saint-Germain once again showed Neuer is getting back in form. He made crucial saves and looked flawless on the ball. He will have a big role to play against Borussia Dortmund.

RB, Konrad Laimer- There is a lot of competition in the right-back position at Bayern after the return of Sacha Boey from injury. However, Laimer was brilliant in this role against Bradley Barcola on Tuesday. Kompany will be tempted to continue with the Austrian in the right-back position on Saturday.

CB, Dayot Upamecano- Courtesy of injury to Hiroki Ito and Eric Dier being out of favour under Vincent Kompany, there is hardly any rotation in the heart of the defense. Dayot Upamecano will look to continue his impressive run of form against Dortmund.

CB, Kim Min-jae- Fresh from scoring the winner against PSG, Kim Min-jae will look to keep a clean sheet at Signal Iduna Park. The South Korean defender has looked back to his best in the ongoing run of seven clean sheets for Bayern.

LB, Alphonso Davies-Like the center-back position, Kompany has a straightforward selection to make in the left-back position. Alphonso Davies has got his mojo back this season. The Canadian full-back will look to deliver a good performance for Die Roten in another big game on Saturday.
