Greuther Furth will make their Bundesliga debut against Bayern Munich on Saturday. Heinrich Schmidtgal will replace Edgar Prib in the defence line of the hosts. The defender got a red card in the DFB Pokal cup match that was played during the week. Robert Zillner and Kevin Kraus will also be unavailable for this match due to injury. Christopher Nothe and Gerald Asamoah are the attackers that will try to unlock Bayern's defence during the match.
Bayern Munich
The trio of Rafinha, David Alaba and Diego Contento will be out of the game due to long term injuries. They will be joined on the side lines by Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger. While the Frenchman fell sick during the week, the latter is yet to recover from an ankle injury he sustained during the pre-season friendlies. Meanwhile, Phipli Lahm, Jerome Boateng and Badstuber will all be available for selection as the Bavarian giants hope to improve on their second place finish in last season's Bundesliga. Mario Mandzukic will lead the forward line in the absence of Mario Gomez who is yet to regain fitness after his ankle surgery.
