Bayern Munich vs Heidenheim – Predicted lineup and team news Bayern Munich hosts Heidenheim at the Allianz Arena this Saturday in a Bundesliga clash. The Bavarians have already wrapped up the league title but will be aiming to respond after their recent defeat to PSG, which ended their 20-game unbeaten run. Domestically, though, Bayern have been dominant all season, winning their last five league matches and sealing the title early.

Their latest Bundesliga game was a dramatic 4–3 comeback win over Mainz after going three goals behind. Even though they lost 5–4 to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final during the week, Bayern remain in strong form overall, with just one defeat in 31 league matches this season. Bayern Munich team news Manager Vincent Kompany is likely to rotate his squad, keeping the upcoming second leg against PSG in mind.

With the title already secured, key players like Harry Kane and Manuel Neuer could be rested. On the injury front, Serge Gnabry and Raphael Guerreiro are still out with muscle problems, and youngster Lennart Karl is also unavailable. This could give Nicolas Jackson a chance to start up front, while Jonas Urbig may feature in goal.

In midfield, Leon Goretzka might take on a more attacking role alongside Michael Olise and Luis Díaz. Bayern Munich predicted lineup Possible Bayern Munich starting XI: Urbig; Laimer, Kim, Ito, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Ndiaye, Diaz; Jackson When will the match kick off? The match will kick off at 2:30pm BST on Saturday, 2nd May.
