The soon-to-be-departing Bayern coach Tuchel is aiming for a turnaround in the top game against Leipzig with Sané, Dier and Pavlovic. The opponent is relying on a Munich scare.
In the top game of the Bundesliga against RB Leipzig, Leroy Sané, Eric Dier and youngster Aleksandar Pavlovic will join the Munich team, which has recently lost three competitive games in a row. They replace Minjae Kim, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Noussair Mazraoui.
Given some absences, national player Joshua Kimmich is likely to move from midfield to the right side of defense. Bayern go into the game eleven points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Tuchel has not yet given up on a successful comeback. They continue to strive for “maximum success”, i.e. winning the title.
For Leipzig, it’s about qualifying for the Champions League again. You won twice in Munich. Dani Olmo scored all three goals in the 3-0 win in the Supercup at the start of the season. The Spaniard will be the focus again on Saturday evening.
