• Niklas Sule will slot in at centre-back to replace Boateng as Benjamin Pavard starts at right-back.
• Lucas Hernandez will get the nod to start at left-back, given Davies’ absentee.

Fantasy Football Tips

Captain Options

Thomas Muller – Thomas Muller is one of the most lucrative players in the world at the moment with 10 goals and 14 assists in the league so far. He has created 87 chances and whipped in 20 accurate crosses. Furthermore, Muller has scored 10 of his 12 shots on target giving him a shot conversion rate of 83%.

Serge Gnabry – With 9 goals and 1 assist in the Bundesliga this season, Gnabry will have the difficult challenge of filling in for Lewandowski. But the German has been in great form of late with 2 goals and 1 assist in Bayern’s last 2 Bundesliga games. He has also had a great international break, scoring once and assisting twice for Germany.

Differential Pick

Christopher Nkunku – The versatile Frenchman may be Leipzig’s key to unlock the Bayern backline. He has 10 goal contributions (6 goals and 4 assists) so far and will be positioned right behind the striker. He has created 57 goal scoring chances and has completed 56% of his attempted dribbles, finishing 22 of them. Nkunku has also fed in 32 accurate crosses while boasting in a pass accuracy of 83%. Having been left out of the French national team for the international break, Nkunku should be well-rested and ready to take on Bayern.

Likely Winner

Given the situation, Bayern Munich should be happy to take a draw away to their fellow title challengers. RB Leipzig, however, will want a win at all costs but they will be aware that they haven’t beaten Die Bavarians in 3 years. The last game these two sides played out was an interesting 3-3 draw that saw Bayern score an equaliser in the 75th minute. Despite their strengths, Leipzig knows that Bayern doesn’t have the same air of invincibility as they did last season and if they play their cards right, can come out on top in the LEP vs BAY Today Match Prediction.
