Bayern Munich-Slovan Bratislava, the probable formations
Bayern Munich faces Slovan Bratislava already eliminated and with zero points on the final day of the Champions League, aiming to win by a wide margin to hope for direct qualification to the round of 16. Kompany’s team also needs favorable results from other fields. For the Slovaks, the ’objective è to win at least a point and end the European experience with a positive result.
Bayern Munich, fresh from an ugly 3-0 defeat against Feyenoord, cannot make a mistake this time. Kompany will deploy the best possible lineup with Neuer in goal, in the center of defense along with Kim, there will be Dier. In the midfield, space for Pavlovic along with Goretzka, with Kimmich acting as right back. In the three-quarter, Gnabry and Sanè return as starters after the last bench against the Dutch team.
Slovan Bratislava, coming off seven defeats in seven Champions League matches, no longer has any ranking goals other than to avoid last place by battling with Young Boys. Weiss’ team will take the field with a 4-3-3: Takac in goal, the two full-backs will be Blackman and Sharani on the right and left respectively. Offensive trident will consist of Mak, Strelec and Marcelli.
