Bayern Munich vs Heidenheim – Match preview and team news Bayern Munich welcomes Heidenheim to the Allianz Arena on Saturday in a Bundesliga encounter. Bayern Munich has already become the Bundesliga champion but they will look to bounce back after suffering their first loss in 20 matches against PSG in their last match. Bayern Munich vs Heidenheim – Match preview and team news Date: Saturday, 2nd May.

Kick-off: 2:30pm BST. Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich. Bayern Munich team news Vincent Kompany is expected to prioritise squad rotation with one eye on the upcoming Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Since Bayern Munich has already secured the Bundesliga title, several marquee names like Harry Kane and Manuel Neuer are likely to be rested. Injury-wise, the Bavarians remain without Serge Gnabry and Raphael Guerreiro, both sidelined with muscle issues, while youngster Lennart Karl is also unavailable. This opens the door for Nicolas Jackson to lead the line and Jonas Urbig to potentially start between the posts.

The midfield could see Leon Goretzka stepping into a more advanced creative role alongside Michael Olise and Luis Díaz. Heidenheim team news Heidenheim enters this fixture with everything to play for as they will be relegated if they lose a single point in their remaining matches. Currently sitting at the bottom of the table, Frank Schmidt’s task is made harder by several absences; Sirlord Conteh and Mikkel Kaufmann are both ruled out with knee and calf injuries, respectively, while Leart Paqarada remains a long-term absentee.
