Is it now?<\/p>\n 81\u2019 – Match is paused due to Bayern\u2019s fans setting off pyro (typical).<\/p>\n 78\u2019 – Jonas Urbig saves header from point-blank range. Manuel Neuer could never.<\/p>\n 76\u2019 – Luis Diaz is offside and yet he still missed his 1v1.<\/p>\n 72\u2019 – David Santos Daiber makes his debut. He is joined by Alphonso Davies. They replace Raphael Guerreiro and Hiroki Ito, respectively.<\/p>\n 71\u2019 – Gnabry loses the ball just outside his box and Heidenheim nearly scored.<\/p>\n 67\u2019 – Heidenheim miss a sitter while Bayern race down the other end but neither team scored.<\/p>\n 66\u2019 – Kane manages to intercept the ball off of the goalkeeper but a quick exchange with Stanisic ends with the ball going behind for a goal-kick.<\/p>\n 63\u2019 – Lennart Karl is brought off for Serge Gnabry.<\/p>\n 53\u2019 – Karl blocks Luis Diaz\u2019s shot, but the ball falls to Harry Kane who spins his marker but can only hit the far post.<\/p>\n 47\u2019 – Lennart Karl runs onto a loose ball but he skies it.<\/p>\n 45\u2019 – Second half is underway!<\/p>\n 32\u2019 – TOR!<\/strong> There is a scramble in the box and Michael Olise turns home Hiroki Ito\u2019s deflected cross.<\/p>\n 28\u2019 – Heidenheim come within inches of equallizing.<\/p>\n 15\u2019 – TOR<\/strong>! Josip Stanisic opens the scoring for the visitors!<\/p>\n 13\u2019 – Nothing yet to separate the two teams.<\/p>\n Bayern Munich has dropped its lineup and head coach Vincent Kompany is missing numerous key players due injuries, illnesses (!?), and a suspension as well:<\/p>\n The final matchday of 2025 is now upon us, and Bayern Munich is raring to go and end the year with a win. Theoretically, that should almost be a guarantee against relegation fodder like Heidenheim in 17th place. However, with the events of last week against 18th\/rock bottom Mainz, Bayern may very well slip up again.<\/p>\n With the return of some players, the Bavarians should be able to get the job done and record a sensational win at Heidenheim\u2019s ground and go into the holidays in high spirits.<\/p>\n Prediction<\/strong>: Bayern wins 4-0. Harry Kane brace along with goals from Luis D\u00edaz and Lennart Karl.<\/p>\n While waiting for the match, do consider listening to the latest episode of Bavarian Podcast Works!
