Shakhtar Donetsk vs Bayern Munich: Predicted Starting XI

GK, Daniel Peretz: With Manuel Neuer still recovering from a minor injury, Daniel Peretz will keep his place in the goal. Sven Ulreich has started training with the squad, but he will be short of match rhythm after being out for a month due to personal reasons. Peretz was unfortunate for both goals Bayern conceded on Saturday. He will hope to keep a clean sheet on Tuesday.

RB, Konrad Laimer: Sacha Boey fared well against Heidenheim on Saturday. However, he may have to sit on the bench against Shakhtar Donetsk. The French defender’s injury record in Munich suggests Vincent Kompany will rotate and give Konrad Laimer a start in the right-back position.

CB, Dayot Upamecano: Fresh from scoring against Heidenheim, Dayot Upamecano will look to keep a clean sheet on Tuesday. The French defender has been in fine form for Bayern this season.

CB, Kim Min-jae: Considering how crucial points are on the offer, Kompany will not make changes in the central defense. Kim Min-jae will partner Upamecano in the heart of defense.

LB, Raphaël Guerreiro: After Alphonso Davies suffered injury against FC Heidenheim, Raphaël Guerreiro will slot in the left side of the defense.
