Bayern Munich vs Holstein Kiel: Predicted lineup for Bundesliga clash
By Tushar Bahl
GK: Manuel Neuer - Neuer will start in goal for Bayern Munich and will hope for a rather quiet evening in goal after a busy start to the season.
RB: Joshua Kimmich - It will be interesting to see if Vincent Kompany continues with Joshua Kimmich at right-back. The newly-appointed Germany captain scored from that role against the Netherlands earlier this week. Sacha Boey is the other option in the Bayern squad.
CB: Kim Min-jae - Due to a lack of alternatives, Kim Min-jae will likely retain his place in the starting XI. The South Korea international will hope to deliver a much-improved performance after a sluggish start to the season.
CB: Dayot Upamecano - Another player who will be keen to impress is Upamecano. The Bayern defense has looked wobbly at times this season, and both center-backs will need to be at their best in the coming weeks as games come thick and fast.
LB: Raphael Guerreiro - Guerreiro will hope to retain his place in the starting XI after a solid showing against Freiburg. The battle for the left-back spot remains tight, with Alphonso Davies also in the mix to play from the start.
