Bayern Munich
Remaining Fixtures: Eintracht Frankfurt (h), Borussia Dortmund (a), Fortuna Düsseldorf (h), Bayer Leverkusen (a), Borussia Mönchengladbach (h), Werder Bremen (a), SC Freiburg (h), Wolfsburg (a)
Starting with the Bundesliga champions and the current league leaders, Bayern Munich have arguably the toughest run-in of the top five, which will be headlined by two massive six pointers away to Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen. These two fixtures will certainly play a massive role in deciding who wins the Bundesliga title this season.
The Bavarians also face tough home games against Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Mönchengladbach and SC Freiburg, before ending their season away to Wolfsburg.
Bayern’s easier run-in compared to Borussia Dortmund helped propelled them to the league title. But even though they face a difficult end to the season this time around, their four point cushion and quality squad depth makes them the favourites to retain their crown.
