The Allianz Arena sets the stage for a fascinating Bundesliga David versus Goliath clash as newly crowned champions Bayern Munich host a desperate 1. FC Heidenheim. Bayern are fresh off one of the craziest Champions League ties in history, dropping a 5-4 thriller to PSG, but their domestic form remains absolutely lethal. Even with the league title wrapped up at 82 points, Vincent Kompany’s men showed their relentless mentality last weekend, storming back from a 3-0 deficit to beat Mainz 4-3. They have scored an absurd 113 league goals this season.

Heidenheim arrive in Munich fighting for their Bundesliga lives. Sitting in 18th place with just 22 points, they are staring relegation dead in the face. Their recent head-to-head history against the Bavarian giants offers very little comfort. The previous encounter earlier this season ended in a brutal Bayern 4-0 Heidenheim scoreline. Prior to that, another meeting finished Bayern 4-2 Heidenheim.

While Kompany will undoubtedly rotate his squad with the PSG second leg looming, Bayern’s second string features world-class international talent eager to prove a point. Heidenheim will fight tooth and nail, but their defense the joint-worst in the league with 66 goals conceded will crumble under the sheer weight of Bayern’s attacking depth. This is a must-win for the visitors to survive, but it is a match Bayern will win simply because their DNA does not allow them to switch off at home. If you want that 100 percent winnings peace of mind, backing Bayern Munich to secure all three points is the only logical play. The talent gap is too massive, even for a rotated side.

Prediction: 1 (Home Win)
