"Location: Voith-Arena, Heidenheim an der Brenz, Baden-Württemberg, Germany Kickoff: 5:30 PM Local time | 12:30 PM EST | 9:30 AM PST Bayern Munich will play their final match of the year on Sunday, and they're looking to cap off the year on a high note against second-last Heidenheim. The southern club is doing slightly better than Bayern's opponents last week, Mainz, but given what happened in that match, the Bavarians probably won't leave anything to chance."
"Manuel Neuer picked up a minor injury right after last week's match, so Jonas Urbig is a surefire starter in goal. Coach Vincent Kompany might want to avoid conceding any more silly goals, so the center backs is the preferred duo of Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah. Konrad Laimer picked up a fifth yellow card last time out, so he's out for this match. That means Josip Stanišić will start on the right side of the defence while Hiroki Itō features on the opposite side."
"The midfield pivot will most likely be Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović, with Lennart Karl as the 10. The now €60 million-rate 17-year-old is continuing to build on his good performances and will fight with Jamal Musiala next year for that position. Luis Díaz is finally back and he'll almost certainly be the left winger in attack, while Michael Olise is cleared to play after a surprise eye surgery. With Nicolas Jackson away on AFCON duty, Harry Kane will probably play the final 90 minutes of the year."
The match takes place at Voith-Arena in Heidenheim with kickoff at 5:30 PM local time. Bayern Munich will play the final match of the year against second-last Heidenheim and aim to finish the year on a high. The Rekordmeister remains unbeaten in the league and is expected to protect that record. Manuel Neuer suffered a minor injury, so Jonas Urbig will start in goal. Konrad Laimer is suspended, prompting Josip Stanišić and Hiroki Itō to occupy the full-back roles alongside Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah in central defence. Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović are likely to form the midfield pivot with Lennart Karl as the number 10. Luis Díaz returns on the left, Michael Olise is cleared to play, and Harry Kane is expected to play the full 90 minutes with Nicolas Jackson on AFCON duty.
