Estimated composition:.

Bayer: Leno - L. Bender, Ta, Bender, Henriks - Baumgartlinger, Arangis - Havertz, Bailey, Brandt - Volland Bayern: Ulreich - Kimmich, Hummels, Boateng, Alaba - Martinez - Robben, Muller, Hames, Ribery - Lewandowski Will not play: Wendell, Pohjanpalo - Vidal , Coman, Neuer Just two weeks ago, Bayer seemed to be rolling down without a chance. Cologne's victory and a draw in Augsburg threw out "pharmacists" from the Champions League zone. Moreover, the victory in the Cup against Bavaria seemed almost impossible. But the two extreme fights, in which Bayer scored eight goals and missed only two, made the fans once again dream about the final of the National Cup. Note that in his field Bayer does not differ in the stability of performances. Wendell will not appear on the field. There are health problems with Ta, Yurchenko and Pohjanpalo.

"In one game everything is possible, and the results of the last two weeks were the best motivator for the match, we are confident in our abilities," said goalkeeper Bayer Bernd Leno.

The team of Jupp Heynckes is all predictably good. Munchentsy - the champions of the country, reached the semifinals of the Champions League and are favorites of the Cup. Motivation in Bavaria will be enough, because the main goal this season is to make "treble". Note that Arturo Vidal will not be able to help Bayern in the next matches due to a recurrence of knee injury. Well, to the absence of Koman and Neuer Heinkes has already managed to adapt.

"To play in the final of the German Cup is an important event for all. Bavaria wants to go further, but first you need to dislodge Bayer, and it will be hard. Leverkusentsy now show great football, they scored good form. Tomorrow anything can happen, anything. But we are well prepared and my players do not need motivation, "- said Heinkes.
