Team News

Bayern
Schalke
  • Leon Goretzka is available after suspension to face his former club. Alphonso Davies suffered a thigh injury and is ruled out for a few weeks, while Eric Choupo-Moting is struggling to shake off a knee injury.
  • Dayot Upamecano is nearing a return from a muscle tear, while Lucas Hernández continues his recovery from an ACL injury, and Josip Stanisic has problems with his adductors.
  • Moritz Jenz is struggling with a muscle injury, but keeper Ralf Fährmann is ruled out. Soichiro Kozuki is ruled out with an ankle problem, while Justin Heekeren has suffered an ACL injury and is ruled out long-term. Éder Balanta could return to the squad after recovering from a knee injury.

Prediction

  • Schalke have snatched back-to-back last-gasp wins to move up to 15th in the table, but still sit precariously just two points away from the relegation places.
  • Only once have Bayern failed to score this season, while Schalke have not found the net in a league-high 14 games this term, and not scored in their last five against the champions.
  • Seeking an 11th Bundesliga title in succession, and despite the perennial champions patchy form, anything other than a comfortable home win would be a major surprise.
