Player to watch – Timo Horn

Back-up keeper Timo Horn has been enjoying a run of starts between the sticks for Bochum and has conceded just two goals in three games since his call up. However, the 31-year-old is likely to be far busier in Munich.

Horn’s reflexes will be tested

Bochum’s first-choice keeper Patrick Drewes has been underperforming this season, so Horn’s promotion to the starting XI was probably overdue. The 31-year-old has impressed so far, however, he is virtually certain to be peppered in Munich and his good record could be turned on its head.
