Bundesliga Preview: Bayern Munich vs. FC Nuremberg
League leaders Bayern Munich will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FC-Nuremberg-c38162 in the Bavarian derby on Saturday, October 29. Both sides will be looking to redeem themselves with a win after dropping points in the previous game. Jupp Heynckes’ side suffered
only their second defeat of the season when they lost to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 at home.
Bayern Munich won the same fixture last year with a 3-0 score line and were dominant as Mario Gomez scored a brace and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philipp-Lahm-c29929 scored one from the penalty spot.
Bayern Munich
The former German champions have been in sensational form this season and are at the top of the Bundesliga standings table with 22 points from ten matches played. They have surely made a strong comeback after a disappointing display
last term, when they ended in third place behind Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern are coming from a brilliant 6-0 win in the DFB-Pokal earlier this week as they progressed to the third round.
FC Nuremberg
The club has had a mixed start to the season and have been inconsistent with their performances in the ten matches played. Their form has been far from last season when they surprised many with a sixth place finish with 47 points,
still 28 points adrift of champions Borussia Dortmund.
Nuremberg’s problem has been the lack of goals this term. They have only scored 12 times in 10 games and have conceded 14 in the process.
Team News
Bayern Munich
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bastian-Schweinsteiger-c7374 is set to return this week as he recovered from a cold after the match against FC Ingolstadt in the German Cup earlier this week. Defender Jerome Boateng is still out after receiving a red card in the match
against Hannover 96 last week.
FC Nuremberg
The visitors are without some of their main players for the match at Allianz Arena. Markus Feulner, Javier Pinola and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Eigler-c9073 are all out with injury and will not be available for the match.
Players to watch
Mario Gomez
The Bavarian striker has continued with his staggering goal scoring form from last season and has found the net 10 times already in the nine games he has played so far. He will surely be the main threat as Bayern face Nuremberg
and will be looking to add on to his already impressive tally.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Timmy-Simons-c35112
The Belgian international midfielder will be one of the most important players for the visitors. He has scored three times already in the ongoing campaign and will be looking to prove his worth in the absence of Markus Feulner.
Prediction
Jupp Heynckes’ team have been one of the best teams in the Bundesliga this season and have continued their form in the UEFA Champions League as well. The club has only lost two times in all competitions in the current campaign
and have been mighty strong in front of the home fans. They will surely be the favourites to win the derby and judging by their form, it will be a comprehensive win for the hosts.
The Bavarian giants are expected to win 4-0 and secure their eighth win of the season. Bayern have been regarded as the favourites to win the Bundesliga this season and the dominance in matches like these will further cement that
prediction.
