Bundesliga Preview: Bayern Munich vs. VfB Stuttgart – Mario Gomez and Martin Harnik to star
Andries Jonker’s Bayern Munich will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hannover-96-c39492 in the
recent weeks. The reverse fixture between the two sides was an eight-goal thriller and Bayern won the clash 5-3 courtesy a Mario Gomez hat-trick.
Bayern Munich
The Bavarians have been in scintillating form off late and are coming off a brilliant 8-1 win against St. Pauli last week. Bayern have had a relatively better second-half of the season after a dismal start to the season. The club has not been able to capitalize
on the stunning form last term when they won the domestic double and reached the final of UEFA Champions League.
With one game to go in the season, the Munich giants are currently third on the Bundesliga standings table with 62 points. They have won 18 of the 33 matches played, drawing eight and losing seven.

Die Roten had a disastrous start to the league season after a sixth placed finish last term. The club was hovering above the relegation zone in mid February but a brilliant run of form recently has gotten them into 11th place and assured them
of another season in the Bundesliga.
Labbadia’s side have won seven of the last ten games in the German League and are now firmly placed 11th with 42 points.

http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martin-Harnik-c24374
The Austrian has been in prime form this term and has scored 16 goals all season. He will be hoping to add on to that already impressive goal tally and help his side get a result at Allianz Arena and therefore, continue with the great form the club has seen
of late.
Prediction
The home side have been in some stunning form and have scored 19 goals in the last five games. The Bavarians are expected to cruise past Stuttgart in the fixture and a lot of goals are expected in the last fixture of the season at Allianz Arena. Bayern will
win 4-1 in the meeting and end the season on a high.
