After brushing aside their nearest title challengers, Bayern Munich will look to increase the gap at the top when they face relegation battlers Fortuna Düsseldorf at the Allianz Arena. The hosts are top of the standings with 64 points, while the visitors are 16th with 27 points.
A hard-fought but well deserved 1-0 win over Borussia Dortmund has given the Bavarians a seven-point lead at the top with six matches to go. With the title nearly in grasp, the hosts will be wary of letting the guard down. Bayern have now won their last seven league games and are unbeaten in 14 fixtures. This sequence saw them win 13 and draw just once. Even at home, Bayern are in cracking form winning six of their last seven Bundesliga home matches. This season, they have lost only twice at home and look formidable as ever. With 81 goals to their account and just 28 conceded, Bayern top both ends of the tally and look good enough to continue the march.
Düsseldorf edged out Schalke 2-1 in the midweek fixture to extend their unbeaten run to six league games. This run fetched only two wins, though, as the visitors continue to remain on the fringes of the relegation fight. Ahead of this round, Düsseldorf are one point behind Mainz and safety zone. However, the stubborn visitors have been proving tough to beat with just one loss in their last nine fixtures. That said, Düsseldorf have struggled to hold their own away from home. They have picked up only 11 of their points on the road, with just two wins. However, much like their overall form, Düsseldorf have seen their away form improve too. They are unbeaten in four Bundesliga away matches, picking up six points along the way.
Bayern Munich will be in high spirits after their recent match win over Borussia Dortmund. Another win here will bring them closer to the eventuality of the Bundesliga title. Fortuna Düsseldorf will hope for an upset win or at least a point from this fixture, but that looks highly unlikely. Based on the previous history between these sides, expect the hosts to carry on and score for fun.
