Bayern Munich predicted XI vs VfL Bochum: Kingsley Coman given a rare start?
Bayern chasing record-breaking start
Bayern Munich will be looking to make history when they take on VfL Bochum on Saturday. The Bavarians are aiming to become the first team to win their opening 11 Bundesliga matches of a season, and they will be confident of doing so against a Bochum side who have lost their last three league games.
Bayern have been in imperious form this season, scoring 35 goals in their 10 league matches so far. They have also kept seven clean sheets, which is the best record in the division.
Kingsley Coman is expected to be given a rare start in attack for Bayern. The French winger has been in good form for the Bavarians this season, scoring three goals in his last four appearances.
Bochum seeking to avoid fourth straight defeat
VfL Bochum will be looking to avoid a fourth straight Bundesliga defeat when they travel to the Allianz Arena on Saturday. The newly-promoted side have had a tough start to the season, and they are currently 17th in the table.
Bochum have lost their last three league games, and they have only managed to win one of their opening 10 matches. They will be hoping to cause an upset against Bayern, but they will need to be at their best to get anything from the game.
Manager Thomas Reis is expected to make changes to his team for the match against Bayern. Eduard Löwen could come into the starting lineup in midfield, while Takuma Asano is pushing for a start in attack.
