Bayern Munchen top of the German Bundesliga and in full force after qualifying in the next round of the Champions League will take on relegation candidate Freiburg.

The German giants had only 2 points advantage over second Schalke 04 before the leg started and with a 2-1 scoreline in their Friday match in the ‘83 minute, now 1 point behind  guarantying a spectacular battle to come.

Top of their game on home ground, Bayern has yet to lose any match in the 13 played with 9 victories and 4 draws and a crushing goal ratio for any opposition of 26 scored with only 9 conceded.

Freiburg has not won any of the past 11 matches played in the Bundesliga, claiming only 4 points from them and landing on a relegating 17th spot of the table with a total of 20 points, 1 point from Nurnberg and salvation.

Nothing really would recommend them to create serious problems against Bayern this Saturday but their decent statistic in away matches is in contrast with their overall performances and placement as they won 4 and ended 2 in draws in 13 scored and a normal negative goal ratio.

My pick:  Bayern Munchen to win

The derby match of this leg in the German Bundesliga and one of only 2 to be played this Sunday in the competition as Bayern Munchen welcomes Hamburger SV.

After a 9 game winning streak in the domestic league, Bayern Munchen got just one point from their trip to Nurnberg last week as it finished 1-1. When looking at the team’s performance and results lately, Nurnberg looked like an unlikely candidate to stop Bayern and the team lost yet another chance to overcome Leverkusen in the overall table.

Bayern Munchen has yet to lose any matches at home this season but with 8 victories and 4 draws their statistic is not really that impressive, their goal ratio on the other hand is another matter with 25 scored and 9 conceded looking very strong on offense.

Hamburg is on the 4th spot of the BUndesliga table with a current total of 40 points, 9 behind their current adversaries and with little room to work with his week as third Schalke sits 5 points from them. Their main threat is Borussia Dortmund which trail them by only one point.

They have a very modest statistic in away matches as they won 4, ended no less than 6 in draws and lost 1 to Dortmund showing a goal record of 25 scored and 16 conceded revealing an emphasis on attach which leaves gaps in defense.

Second day of the Champions League and it seems like Bayern Munchen may have the easiest task of all teams still involved as they welcome a struggling Fiorentina to the Alianz Arena.

Bayern Munchen is flying high with a string of victories that seems endless both in the German Bundesliga and also in the DFB Pokal. Trailing leaders ayer Leverkusen in the domestic league only due to a poorer goal ratio, the team is set to win the championship title and please the crowds with performances in the Champions League.

No less than 12 consecutive victories for the German giants, the last time they lost any points was late November in a 1-1 draw against rivals Leverkusen. The same story in home matches where they reached 7 consecutive victories and look unbeatable on their pitch.

Fiorentina may be the weakest team to gain access to this phase of the competition, surrounded by European football giants, the small Italian team will consider this one of their greatest performances.

No victories for them in the last 5 matches played, 4 in the Serie A and one in the Cup with a very important loss to their side as striker Adrian Mutu, who impressed at the start of the year,  is suspended from all competitions. Nonetheless we have to remember that Fiorentina finished top of group E, 2 points in front of Lyon and leaving Liverpool in the Europa League.

My tip: Bayern Munchen

What an incredible form for Bayern Munchen with results that brought the team on the first spot with 45 points as Leverkusen but a difficult task against Borussia Dortmund this Saturday.

No less than 8 consecutive victories for Bayern Munchen to date and the team saw a considerable shift in the table from the 6th spot last year now joust behind Leverkusen due to a poorer goal ratio.

The Bundesliga giants have not tasted defeat yet on home ground with a statistic of 7 victories and 4 draws in all 11 played and a strong goal ratio of 22 scored and 8 conceded.

Borussia Dortmund is certainly highly motivated for this match after losing the last 2 played in the German league and with the painful defeat administered to them by Bayern Munchen in the start of the season, 5-1 the scoreline.

Their statistic in away matches is decent with 4 victories and 4 draws, losing only 2 in all 10 played but a negative goal ratio of 15 scored and 16 conceded. None the less in case of a positive result and depending on Hamburger SV performance this week, the team can advance to the 4th spot.

A good chance for Bayern Munchen to consolidate their position after
this first part of the Bundesliga with a match against the last team in
the table Herta BSC Berlin.

Bayern is third in the league table and in reaching distance from
leaders Leverkusen and second Schalke but with little hope of surpassing
them this week as both have relatively easy games.

They have yet to suffer any defeats on home ground in the domestic
league and have a statistic of 4 victories and 4 draws, the latter being
an important number and a very good goal ratio of 12 scored and 6
conceded.

Adding to this the fact that they have 3 straight victories they
should have no problem in disposing of their adversaries.

Herta is already destined for the second league and it seems that no
matter the changes that the leaders inflict on the team, the result are
the same.

They gathered only 2 points from the last 5 matches played and have a
total of 6 in the table. The team has yet to win any away matches and
against such an opponent they stand little chances to do so in this
game.

Bayern Munchen kick off the German Bundesliga day 15 with this only
match played on Friday against middle of the table Borussia
Monchengladbach.

Bayer is now 4th in the domestic league with an important gap of 6
points from leaders Leverkusen and one points from third Schalke.

The team seems to be characterized this season by a large number of
games finished in draws, no less than 6 out of the 14 played from witch 4
where on home ground.

Borussia M’gladbach in a comfortable position as far as team’s
ambitions go, 11th spot and with 18 points in total they sit 6 points
above Bochum, the first team under the relegation line.

In away matches they managed to win 2 so far, ended one in a draw and
lost 4. What strikes is the good form showed in the last month as they
now have 5 games without defeat, winning 3 of them, all of this after a
disastrous start to the new season.

The derby match of the 13th day in the German Bundesliga with Bayern,
now middle of the table, welcoming the leaders Bayer Leverkusen in what
is supposed to be a very balanced game.

Bayern Munchen eight in the table but still in touch with the leading
party as they are only 6 points short of their opposition in this match
and leaders of the competition, Bayer Leverkusen.

Their record at home is rather decent with 3 victories and 3 matches
ended in draw in 6 played and a goal ratio of 9 scored and 4 conceded so
very little scored compared to the team at the top of the standings.

Bayer Leverkusen has managed to create a 3 point margin from second
Werder Bremen and third Hamburger SV even if in the last 4 matches
played they ended 3 in draws, all against teams from the upper part of
the table.

They have the same record away as Bayern has at home with 3 victories
and 3 draws (2 in the last 2 played), even better they managed to avoid
losing any games so far. The team seems to have a pattern of finishing
games against top opposition in draws and this one could be no
exception.

My pick: Draw
