Hansi Flick’s defending champions were imperious in the group stage, taking 16 out of a possible 18 points. However, their form has suffered slightly in the Bundesliga , with their lead at the top of the table reduced to just two points. They are also without a number of senior players for the trip, with Thomas Tuchel, Benjamin Pavard and Serge Gnabry all unable to travel.
