The Bundesliga will be back in action over the weekend and all the clubs will be hoping to get good results to resume their league campaign. The sides will be fretting over the fitness of their squad members after a two-week international
break that included a number of friendlies and 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
German League’s status has been redefined and it is now amongst the top three leagues in Europe. It moved past the Italian Serie A which is now fourth according to UEFA’s coefficient rankings of European clubs. This situation is
very desirable for the German clubs as they will now have four places for the UEFA Champions League.
As a result, all the big teams will be fighting tooth and nail for the top four positions and would not want to settle for the UEFA Europa League, formerly known as UEFA Cup. However, the key players will be looking forward to
make a positive impact for their respective sides when the league resumes.

the Allianz Arena. He is currently the leading scorer in the domestic league with seven goals, two ahead of his competitors.

of Euro 2012 after scoring twice against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926.
This season he has led the Bayern attack and has played almost every game for Die Bayern. It will be hard for head coach Jupp Heynckes to decide who to give the nod when Gomez recovers from injury, as both forwards have provided
the goods for the Bavarian outfit.
Mandzukic will be desperate to add to his tally when Bayern travel to Fortuna Dusseldorf on Saturday. Der FCB have won all their league games this season and are yet to fail in any Bundesliga tie. They will be hoping to make it
eight wins out of eight against Dusseldorf.

position, only one point behind defending champions Borussia Dortmund.
