Bayern Munich will welcome Viktoria Plzen at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday evening as they focus on securing a good result in front of their home supporters. The Bavarian giants managed to earn a dominant 4-0 win over Bayer 04 Leverkusen recently which will give them a lot of confidence ahead of this UEFA Champions League contest.
Hansi Flick will probably opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first XI for this game. Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry will play from the start in the absence of Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller after they tested positive for Covid-19.
4-2-3-1 Bayern Munich Predicted Lineup To Face Viktoria Plzen
Defence
Manuel Neuer will play in between the sticks for the Munich outfit after securing a clean sheet in his last outing. Dayot Upamecano will resume his centre-half partnership with Matthijs de Ligt at the heart of Bayern’s backline as they try to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Benjamin Pavard will be a nailed-on starter at right-back while Alphonse Davies hopes to give a good account of himself as the left-back. Both of them would be eager to get forward at every chance they get.
Noussair Mazraoui will be named on the bench as he provides cover for the defensive positions.
Midfield
Marcel Sabitzer and Leon Goretzka will operate as the holding midfielders as they look to dominate possession at the centre of the park and orchestrate a few inviting chances on the attacking end of the pitch.
The gifted trio of Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane will function just ahead of them as part of Bayern’s attack.
Both Gnabry and Sane will be responsible for stretching the pitch out on the wide areas while Jamal Musiala looks to give a good account of himself from the number ten position.
Ryan Gravenberch and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will have to be content with a spot on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the second half if required.
Attack
Sadio Mane will spearhead Flick’s attack on his own up top. The Senegal international managed to get his name on the scoresheet and would be looking forward to this European game versus Plzen in midweek.
Mathys Tel will be on Flick’s bench but might come on to influence the game in the latter stages of Bayern are in need of a goal by then.
