Title-chasing Bayern Battles Gladbach Live on StarTimes

-

StarTimes will again treat Nigerians to a feast of exciting football games across top leagues, including the big Bundesliga cracker where Europeanti­tle chasing Gladbach hopes to halt the fantastic run of title-chasing Bayern Munich.

Viewers can watch the game on StarTimes Word Football (channel 254 or 244) on Sunday at 5:30pm Nigerian time, to enjoy the cracker between the two teams with the two best records in the second half of the season clashing in front of a capacity filled crowd at the Borussia Park.

A statement by StarTimes Head of Public Relations and Communicat­ion, Israel Bolaji said the top game and other exciting matches across top leagues are lined up for the viewing pleasure of subscriber­s, to excite football fans with top-notch live actions from the best European leagues, including Bundesliga, Serie A, French Ligue I and select Premier League matches.

“We are keen to deliver the best sporting and entertainm­ent content to our esteemed customers and offer a line up of live football matches that will delight them and make weekend a great delight”, said Bolaji.

Gladbach suffered a rare hiccup on Dieter Hecking’s watch as they went down to a 2-1 defeat in Hamburg on Matchday 24. The Foals’ boss will be hoping Thursday’s UEFA Europa League clash does not sap too much energy from his side ahead of Sunday as the ninth-placed side aim to get the win they need to close in on the European places.

There is a rare role reversal for Bayern this week as they have a full week to prepare for a Bundesliga match while their opponents are distracted by a midweek fixture. Last weekend’s 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt helped the Bavarians open up a 10-point lead at the top of the table, and the champions will make it 19 games without defeat in all competitio­ns if they can leave Mönchengla­dbach with a result.
