Bayern aim to add to unbeaten record

BAYERN MUNICH host Werder Bremen today in the Bundesliga looking to extend their unbeaten run in all matches to 20, while their guests are hoping the Bavarians suffer a Champions League hangover.

With a 15- point lead, Bayern are running away with this season’s title and 11th- placed Bremen last tasted victory at Munich’s Allianz Arena back in September, 2008.

Fresh from their impressive 3-1 Champions League win at Arsenal on Tuesday in the last 16, first-leg tie, Munich are on a roll and Werder midfielder Mehmet Ekici, who says they hope to catch Bayern cold.

“We want to play at their level, play aggressively and give our all,”

Werder will have to work hard to breach Bay- ern’s defence, which has leaked just seven goals in the league all season, while goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has had to save just one shot in the last 281 minutes of league action.

In Bremen’s favour is Bayern’s German Cup quarter-final next Wednesday at home to holders Borussia Dortmund.

Dutch star Arjen Robben will play on the right wing with Mario Gomez likely striker.

Bayern have not lost any of their last 10 competitive matches against Bremen with seven wins and three draws.

Bremen striker Nils Petersen, on loan from Bayern, will be looking to show the Bavarians what they are missing having scored 11 goals in 22 games so far this season.

Second- placed Borus- sia Dortmund are at Moenchengladbach on Sunday having drubbed the hosts 5-0 in the corresponding fixture last year.

It was Monchengladbach’s biggest loss this season, but also Lucien Favre’s worst defeat as coach since taking charge in February 2011 as Marco Reus scored twice.

With both strikers Robert Lewandowski and Julien Schieber suspended, Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp is likely to start with Germany midfielder Mario Goetze.

Klopp has been training his team behind closed doors since Sunday andclearly has something up his sleeve ahead of his team’s German Cup quarter- final at Bayern on Wednesday in a repeat of last year’s final.– SapaAFP
