Bayern Munich is looking good for the business end of the season, getting enough rest whilst keeping title “challengers” Borussia Dortmund at bay. Die Schwarzgelben ended their Champions League campaign in horrific fashion by squandering a first leg lead to go out on aggregate against Atalanta, coincidentally Bayern’s round of 16 opponents.
While Dortmund appears to be formidable in the league, cracks are starting to show in the team and the fact that Dortmund coach Niko Kovać played most of his starters
is a telling sign. His players are bound to be gassed by this fixture, so the odds aren’t in their favor.
The Bavarians are somewhat banged up, but it still has a mostly healthy squad. Fitness is paramount at this point in the season.
