Bayern Munich vs Celtic: Predicted Lineup For Champions League Playoff Clash

Bayern can not be complacent, Celtic showing that they can be dangerous in the final 30 minutes of the first leg. Coming off a strong defensive showing in the Bundesliga against Bayer Leverkusen, they will need to have that focus again.

Head coach Vincent Kompany has a nearly full squad; Alphonso Davies, Daniel Peretz, and possibly Joao Palhinha are still absent.

Bayern Munich Predicted Lineup vs. Celtic (4-2-3-1)

GK: Manuel Neuer - The legendary German kept his 10th Bundesliga clean sheet against Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend. If he keeps one against Celtic, Bayern will be in the next round.

RB: Sacha Boey - The Frenchman may get the nod over Konrad Laimer, with the Austrian playing two consecutive 90-minute games. Bayern also has 3rd place in Eintracht Frankfurt after Celtic.

CB: Dayot Upemacano - Had an excellent game against Bayer and is the first selection in the back four when fit.

CB: Eric Dier - The Englishman started the first leg against Celtic and could rotate back in with Min-jae rested for the crucial Bundesliga game.

LB: Raphael Guerreiro - He continues to deputize for the injured Alphonso Davies and has been solid in several previous games.

CM: Joshua Kimmich - He could play right-back, but Kompany has several options, so he could play Kimmich at his most impactful position.

CM: Leon Goretzka - Goretzka started the first leg and came on to replace Pavlovic against Bayer. Kompany could pick either, with the other likely starting against Frankfurt on Sunday.

RW: Michael Olise - The Frenchman scored the opening goal in the first leg and has been a great signing in the previous summer transfer window.

AM: Jamal Musiala - Recently signed a new contract until 2030 and is a vital cog in the Bayern Munich offense.

LW: Leroy Sane - Sane started the game against Celtic, and the team led 2-0 when he left the field for Kingsley Coman. It's likely Sane will start again on the left side.

ST: Harry Kane - Kane scored the second goal in the first leg, so don't bet against him scoring again at the Allianz Arena.
