Jamal Musiala picked up a lingering illness over winter break that has limited him to 26 minutes in Bayern Munich’s first three matches of 2025. He should be able to put in a solid shift around 45-60 minutes and hopefully add a goal or assist to show that he is back in full form.
The big surprise of the lineup is Kingsley Coman earning the nod over Leroy Sané. Sané scored a brace against Hoffenheim and assisted Michael Olise in the Wolfsburg win. On the other hand, Coman has failed to record a goal or assist, or play a full match in 10 consecutive outings.
Bayern Munich and Feyenoord haven’t met since 2001 so it’s safe to say this is not much of a rivalry game. Bayern’s stale attack has stepped on the gas pedal in 2025 and Feyenoord’s leaky defense won’t be the squad to provide the blueprint to slow them down.
Jamal Musiala is expected back in the starting lineup, making the Champions League clash an opportunity for Vincent Kompany to trot out this preferred starting XI for the first time since the winter break.
Odds: Bayern (-230), Draw (+375), Feyenoord (+550), Over/Under 3.5 goals
Prediction: Bayern wins 5-1. Back to full strength, Bayern takes an early lead thanks to Harry Kane’s first non-penalty kick goal since the Augsburg match. Ten minutes later, Michael Olise and Konrad Laimer drop some next level one-touch passing up the right flank and find Kane for a tap-in on the back post. Jamal Musiala will open the second half with a scrappy goal, Leroy Sané will continue his scoring streak, and Kane will complete his hat trick. After the subs are made, Feyenoord will find the back of the net in the 85th minute.
It’s Bayern time.
