Stefan Ortega will start in between the sticks behind Cedric Brunner, Amos Pieper, Joakim Nilsson and Jacob Laursen. Manuel Prietl will be hoping for a start but the same midfield of Ritsu Doan, Fabian Kunze, Marcel Hartel and Reinhold Yabo should get the nod.

BAY vs BIE Today Match Prediction:

Sky Bet: Bayern Munich – 1/9; Arminia Bielefeld – 18

Paddy Power: Bayern Munich – 1/9; Arminia Bielefeld – 16

Bayern Munich will look at this game and hope for a straight-forward win. They have been impeccable this season bar a few blips earlier on in the season and will take this game by the scruff of the neck. Bielefeld will go for broke as they have nothing to lose but getting a point at the Allianz Arena is no easy task. They can exploit the fact that they’ve had 2 weeks of rest while Bayern had to make the long trip to Qatar and back in midweek but the home side should win the BAY vs BIE Today Match Prediction comfortably.

Most Likely Result: Bayern Munich win

BAY vs BIE Dream11, Captain & Differential Picks

Captain Options –

Robert Lewandowski – Goal-machine, Robert Lewandowski, can not stop scoring. He has 24 goals and 6 assists in 18 starts in the Bundesliga. He also has 2 goals and an assist in his last 2 games for the club and is undoubtedly the most in-form player in the world at the moment.

Fabian Klos – With a goal and assist in his last 3 starts for the club, Klos has been one of Bielefeld’s better players this season. He has also created 21 chances and dispatched 11 shots on target. He will hope to wrong-foot the Bayern defence and get them off to a bright start.

Kingsley Coman – Coman has been excellent all season with 3 goals and 9 assists in 13 starts this season. He has made that left-wing spot his own and has created 36 goal-scoring chances while succeeding 31 dribbles in the league. Given Lewandowski’s form, the assists should keep pouring in for Coman.

Differential Picks –

Ritsu Doan – The Japanese international has 5 goal-involvements this season which makes up 33% of Arminia’s goals this season. He has created 29 chances and will look to link up with the likes of Klos to trouble the Bayern defence.

Leroy Sane – Leroy Sane has not had the start that he would’ve liked to his Bayern career after losing out on his spot to Coman. But with the absence of Gnabry, Sane has the opportunity to prove that he is ready to start every game for the world champions in addition to his 9 goal involvements in 9 starts.
