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.

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.
A major concern lingers over the fitness of defensive pillar Benedikt Gimber, who is a late doubt following a recent knock.
If Gimber cannot start, the pressure will intensify on Johnas Fohrenbach and Patrick Mainka to organise a backline capable of withstanding Bayern’s attacking depth.
Bayern Munich has been unstoppable in the 2025/26 Bundesliga, winning their last five consecutive league matches to secure the title with games to spare.
Their most recent domestic outing was a thrilling 4–3 comeback victory against Mainz, where they rallied from three goals down.
Despite a narrow 5–4 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in their midweek Champions League semi-final first leg, the Bavarians remain in formidable form, having lost only once in 31 league fixtures this season.
Heidenheim
Heidenheim enters this fixture desperate in their relegation battle. They come off a crucial 2–0 home win against fellow strugglers St. Pauli, which moved them to within four points of the relegation play-off spot. While they remain 18th in the standings, Frank Schmidt’s side has won two of their last three games—matching their win total from the previous 23 rounds combined.
Predicted lineups
Bayern Munich: Urbig; Laimer, Kim, Ito, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Ndiaye, Diaz; Jackson
