Bayern Munich Form
Bayern Munich are having a phenomenal season. The team under Vincent Kompany have won their last five Bundesliga matches, scoring an average of four goals per game. That is no coincidence, as the Munich side have scored 113 goals in the league (the previous 54-year-old record of 101 goals was broken as early as round 29). Kompany made rotations in the last league match against Mainz 05 before the first leg with Paris Saint-Germain (4:5) in the Champions League: Bayern Munich were 0:3 down by half-time, but after the introduction of the regular starters the hosts went on to win 4:3. This time there will also be changes to the line-up before the return leg with the Parisians, but even the back-up options in the Munich squad are capable of taking all three points.
Key Bayern Munich stats:
Bayern Munich have scored more than two goals in five consecutive matches.
The hosts win an average of 6.3 corners per match (the best figure in the league).
Kompany's side have won the first half in seven home matches in a row.
Potential Bayern Munich lineup (4-2-3-1): Jonas Urbig — Josip Stanisic, Kim Min-jae, Hiroki Ito, Konrad Laimer — Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka — Michael Olise, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye, Luis Diaz — Nicolas Jackson.
Out: Leon Klanac, Serge Gnabry, Cassiano Kiala, Lennart Karl, Raphael Guerreiro, Tom Bischoff, Wisdom Mike (injuries).
Heidenheim Form
Heidenheim sit 18th, but can still save their season and at least climb into the relegation play-off spots. Over the last five rounds the team of Frank Schmidt have risen from the ashes with two wins and two draws. However, seven of the eight points they have picked up came at home. The main problem is their away form. In 15 away league matches Heidenheim have won only once and have conceded an average of two goals per game.
Key Heidenheim stats:
Heidenheim have conceded more goals than any other side in the Bundesliga — 66.
Schmidt's team have scored in the second half in five consecutive rounds.
Heidenheim are the most disciplined team in the Bundesliga (43 yellow cards).
Potential Heidenheim lineup (4-4-2): Diant Ramaj — Marnon Busch, Patrick Mainka, Jonas Fohrenbach, Ennes Berens — Eren Dinkci, Jan Schoppner, Niklas Dorsch, Adrian Beck — Marvin Pieringer, Budu Zivzivadze.
Out: Leart Pasarada, Sirlord Conte, Mikkel Kaufmann, Benedikt Gimber, Mathias Honsak, Nik Rothweller (injuries).
