Bayern Munich predicted XI vs VfL Bochum: Kingsley Coman given a rare start?

Bayern Munich travel to the Ruhr Valley to face VfL Bochum on Saturday in search of a ninth consecutive victory in all competitions.

Julian Nagelsmann's side have been in imperious form since the turn of the year and will be heavy favorites to overcome their relegation-threatened opponents. However, Bochum have shown signs of improvement under new coach Thomas Letsch and will be no pushovers, especially at home.

One player who could be handed a rare start for Bayern is Kingsley Coman. The French winger has been in and out of the team this season, but with Leroy Sane and Sadio Mane both out injured, he could get the nod ahead of Serge Gnabry.

If Coman does start, he will be looking to make a positive impression. The 26-year-old has been linked with a move away from Bayern in recent months, and he will be keen to show that he still has a lot to offer the club.

Here is Bayern Munich's predicted XI vs VfL Bochum:

• Neuer
• Pavard
• Upamecano
• De Ligt
• Davies
• Kimmich
• Goretzka
• Müller
• Coman
• Musiala
• Choupo-Moting

Bayern Munich will be confident of victory against VfL Bochum, but they will need to be wary of their opponents' threat on the counterattack. Bochum have scored in each of their last four games, and they will be looking to make life difficult for Bayern's defense.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 3:30 PM CET on Saturday, February 11th.
