Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim: Predicted Starting XI

GK, Manuel Neuer- After successfully returning from injury against Gladbach, Neuer will look to continue the fine run of form on Wednesday.

RB, Konrad Laimer- Even though Josip Stanišić has returned to first-team training before Hoffenheim, Kompany is likely to stick with Laimer for the right-back position. The Austrian was in fine form against Gladbach on Saturday at both ends of the pitch.

CB, Dayot Upamecano- After serving one game suspension against Gladbach, Upamecano will be back in the starting XI on Wednesday.

CB, Kim Min-jae- Despite carrying an injury, Kim Min-jae has been playing consistently for Die Roten. He was given rest during one training session this week, but he should be fine to start for Bayern against Hoffenheim.

LB, Alphonso Davies- With contract talks moving in the right direction, things are going well for Davies on and off the pitch. He will look to continue his fine run of form against Hoffenheim.
