Bayern München

Last updated: Wed 19 December 2018 23:47
In Brief

Arjen Robben, James Rodriguez and Corentin Tolisso remain only injury concerns. Franck Ribery available

Looking Back

Put up a dominant display on the road to Hannover as they extended their winning run in the Bundesliga to three games with a 4-0 win.

Unbeaten run extended to six games in all competitions while they have scored at least twice in each of their last eight games.

Looking Ahead

No fresh news on the injury front for Bayern with long term absentees Robben, Tolisso and James still out injured

Ribery had been handed a breather against Hannover but Kovac has confirmed the winger will be available for selection on Wednesday

Points of Interest

Have won three of the four Bundesliga meetings against RB Leizpig, including both the games at the Allianz Arena

RB Leipzig

Last updated: Wed 19 December 2018 23:47
In Brief

Played well in big win over Mainz in the last round. Emil Forsberg still injured. Marcel Sabitzer banned for a match. Kevin Kampl a major doubt, Diego Demme expected to feature.

Looking Back

Just 2 away wins this season so far.

Timo Werner's brace in the last round takes his tally to 10 for the season. But only 2 of those have come on the road. Partner Yussuf Poulsen has 8 so far, also just 2 away goals.

Have the best defence in the league, just 14 goals conceded so far.

Looking Ahead

Swedish winger Emil Forsberg is still out injured.

Marcel Sabitzer is banned for a match after seeing his fifth yellow card in the last round.

Kevin Kampl is a serious doubt due to a toe injury.

Diego Demme should be available, but is still feeling the after effects of a stomach muscle strain.

Points of Interest

Lost both their previous visits to Munich without even scoring a goal.
