On Saturday there will be the top game in the Bundesliga between RB Leipzig and FC Bayern Munich. But can both teams compete with top players? We take a look at the squad, suspensions and injuries.
In the top game of matchday 6, RB Leipzig welcomes FC Bayern at home. The Munich team would like to take revenge for the defeat in the Supercup (0:3) in August at the Red Bull Arena, Leipzig. The cracker will kick off on Saturday, September 30th at 6:30 p.m.
However, some players had to take a break in the DFB Cup during the week. You can find out here what the chances of a return look like and which players the coaches could send onto the field.
RB Leipzig vs. FC Bayern Munich, lineups, squad, suspensions, injuries: This is how FCB could play
Things got thin in the cup, especially for the German record champions: With Matthijs de Ligt, Min-jae Kim and Dayot Upamecano, all three regular central defenders had to pass. The good news, however, is that according to coach Thomas Tuchel, at least the latter two should be fit again by the weekend.
De Ligt, on the other hand, will probably still be missing this Saturday after the blow to his knee last matchday, as will Serge Gnabry, who broke his forearm against Preußen Münster. There is also Manuel Neuer, who has been injured for a long time.
RB Leipzig vs. FC Bayern Munich: Expected FCB lineup
Kim and Upamecano are likely to form the regular central defense again against Leipzig – Leon Goretzka, who helped out there on Tuesday, will then probably return to his usual position in defensive midfield. This is what FCB’s starting lineup could look like:
FC Bayern: Ulreich – Laimer, Upamecano, M.-J. Kim, Davies – Kimmich, Goretzka – L. Sané, Musiala, Coman – H. Kane Dayot Upamecano was not available for the DFB Cup during the week.
RB Leipzig vs. FC Bayern Munich, lineups, squad, suspensions, injuries: This is how RBL could play
The situation for the hosts looks a little more relaxed: The youngster El Chadaille Bitshiabu will be out until November, as will Willi Orban, who tore the lateral ligament in his knee at the beginning of September. Dani Olmo is in advanced training but won’t be fit in time.
Timo Werner (back problems) could play again against Bayern, although it is more likely that the striker will initially come off the bench.
RB Leipzig vs. FC Bayern Munich: Expected line-up of RBL
Marco Rose is spoiled for choice, especially on offense. We’re guessing that Xavi Simons will start at ten, but the RBL coach could also choose Christoph Baumgartner or Fabio Carvalho. This could be Leipzig’s lineup:
RB Leipzig: Blaswich – Henrichs, Simakan, Lukeba, Raum – X. Schlager, Kampl – Xavi, Forsberg – Openda, Sesko
