Suspensions and injuries
Having arguably the best squad in world football is of course a great advantage to Bayern, but that doesn’t mean they are immune to the effects of injuries and suspensions.
Both Xherdan Shaqiri and Thiago Alcantara have been ruled out and whilst the former is something of a bit-part player, the latter brings a great dynamic to the midfield.
The absence of Thiago will be exacerbated by the fact Javi Martinez and Bastian Schweinsteiger are suspended and this could make the hosts defensively weak.
