Only two clubs have taken points from Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga this season, and the dominant defending champions of Europe and Germany will look for revenge on one of them this Soccer Saturday at the Allianz Arena.
First-place Bayern Munich hold a 20-point lead in the Bundesliga, and their quest for an unbeaten league season continues when third-place Bayer Leverkusen come to town. Leverkusen drew 1-1 with Bayern at the BayArena earlier this season, but they enter the Allianz Arena on Saturday in the midst of a winless skid. Bayern have won 16 Bundesliga consecutive matches since their draw at Leverkusen, and they have been perfect at home this season, outscoring opponents 37-6 in a dozen victories.
In Saturday’s EPL action, title-contending Manchester City will open the day with a trip to Hull City, who are looking for their first home victory since December. Nineteenth-place Sunderland will host 16th-place Crystal Palace in an important match for the relegation battle, and first-place Chelsea look to keep their seven-point advantage intact with a road victory at Aston Villa.
Elsewhere, first-place Real Madrid take their three-point lead in La Liga into a road match against Malaga, who have fallen from Champions League quarterfinalists last season to a relegation-threatened club in Spain’s top division. Before Bayern take on Leverkusen in Germany, Borussia Dortmund look to keep their momentum going in a home match against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
