In a derby Bayern Munich host the FC Augsburg on Saturday afternoon.Bayern Munich have the league wrapped up after a
phenomenal season. Unbeaten in the league since the end of October! (a
2-1 home to Leverkusen) FC Hollywood are without doubt the best side in
world football at the moment. In the unbeaten run they have won 22
matches while drawing 4 (with 63 goals score and 10 conceded) Bayern
Munich are a awesome all round side whose style of play is so fluid they
are almost unstoppable. Their supreme play was in evidence when they
totally dismantled Barcelona 7-0 over two legs in the recent Champions
League Semi-Final. With the league wrapped up and the big one at Wembley
in Champions League to come and also a DFB Pokal final on the horizon
its likely we will again see fringe players here. The level of players
may drop but its only fractional as these squad members fit in
seamlessly and the also play with a higher level of intensity. Rafinha
is suspended and will miss the rest of the season but expect the likes
of Jerome Boateng, Anatoliy Tymoshchuck and Claudio Pizarro to feature.
Just nine points gained Augsburg in the first half of
the season, but as they play tremendously well in 2013, they have a real
chance to stay in Bundesliga again. Still they are in a dangerous
position, are equal on points with Düsseldorf on a non-relegation place,
but are just two points ahead of Hoffenheim and if lose in Munich could
drop to a direct relegation position. Though Augsburg defend well and
play very disciplined, they still have a huge problem in front of the
goal, also didn't score last Sunday when lost 0:2 in Freiburg. That was
the ninth away dafeat of the season (3-4-9).
Possible line-ups:
BAYERN MUNICH: Neuer; Lahm • Buyten • Dante • Alaba; Martínez • Schweinsteiger; Robben • Müller • Ribéry; Mandžukić.
AUGSBURG: Manninger; Verhaegh • Vogt • Klavan • Ostrzolek Hahn; Morávek • Ji • Werner • Baier; Mölders.
