Team News

Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen will be without Nordi Mukiele, who is suspended following his red card in the first leg. Additionally, Jeanuel Belocian has been ruled out for the rest of the season, further limiting Xabi Alonso’s defensive options. As a result, the backline could see a reshuffle, with Mario Hermoso, Piero Hincapie, and Jonathan Tah forming a three-man defence.

In midfield, Robert Andrich is a doubt due to illness, which could see Exequiel Palacios step in alongside Granit Xhaka in the centre of the park. Meanwhile, the hosts have been dealt a significant attacking blow, as Florian Wirtz remains sidelined until early April due to injury. His absence means that Amine Adli is likely to feature in the attack, alongside Nathan Tella and Victor Boniface.

Head coach Xabi Alonso is expected to deploy a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Matej Kovar continuing as the goalkeeper. The back three will consist of Mario Hermoso, Jonathan Tah, and Piero Hincapie, aiming to contain Bayern’s attacking threats.

In midfield, Jeremie Frimpong and Alejandro Grimaldo will play as the wing-backs, providing width and attacking support. Granit Xhaka and Exequiel Palacios will operate in central midfield, tasked with controlling possession and shielding the defence.

Further forward, Nathan Tella and Amine Adli will function as the attacking midfielders, supporting lone striker Victor Boniface, who will be responsible for leading the line and trying to breach Bayern’s defensive setup.

Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Kovar; Hermoso, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Xhaka, Palacios, Grimaldo; Tella, Adli; Boniface

Bayern Munich
Die Roten will once again be without Manuel Neuer, who is not expected to return until late March due to a calf injury. As a result, Jonas Urbig is set to continue as the starting goalkeeper.

In defence, Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae will form the centre-back pairing, offering both physicality and composure at the heart of Bayern’s backline. Josip Stanisic is expected to feature at right-back, while Raphael Guerreiro will occupy the left-back role, providing an attacking outlet down the flank.

Midfield maestro Joshua Kimmich is certain to start in the middle of the park, and he is likely to be partnered in a double pivot by Leon Goretzka, who will provide defensive stability and attacking support.

Further forward, Harry Kane will spearhead Bayern’s attack, looking to add to his impressive goal-scoring record this season. He is expected to be supported by an exciting trio of Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, and Kingsley Coman, all of whom offer creativity, pace, and goal-scoring ability in the final third.

Bayern will line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Jonas Urbig in goal. The backline will consist of Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae, and Raphael Guerreiro, providing a mix of defensive solidity and attacking width.

In midfield, Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka will control the tempo, ensuring Bayern maintain possession while offering defensive protection. Ahead of them, Michael Olise will operate on the right wing, Jamal Musiala will take up the central attacking role, and Kingsley Coman will feature on the left, all working to create chances for Harry Kane, who will lead the line as the lone striker.

Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Urbig; Stanisic, Upamecano, Kim, Guerreiro; Goretzka, Kimmich; Olise, Musiala, Coman; Kane
Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 1-2 Bayern Munich (Bayern win 5-1 on aggregate)
