🔴 Bayern’s Focus: Control and Clinical Finishing
Manager Thomas Tuchel is expected to rotate lightly, but Bayern’s approach remains clear: dominate possession, use their wide players effectively, and rely on their world-class frontline to break down what is likely to be a compact St. Pauli defence. Players like Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sané, and Harry Kane — if selected — will be central to Bayern’s efforts to unlock the game early.
Defensively, Bayern will need to remain alert. St. Pauli have shown a capacity to trouble bigger teams with quick transitions and physical presence in the final third.
