Bavarian Podcast Works — Preview Show: St. Pauli vs. Bayern Munich (Bundesliga)

It is almost as if the Bundesliga scripted the season to reach this point: Bayern Munich vs. Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena. Should the Bavarians win, they’ll wrap up a 10th consecutive league crown.Even with a draw, Bayern Munich would be in a prime spot to win the league barring a blockbuster collapse given that Dortmund would need to win the rest of the matches, hope for the Bavarians to lose the rest of their matches — and make up a pretty massive goal differential in the process.This is what we have on tap for this episode:A look at where each club resides in the the table (Hint: The top).A glance at the form and recent storylines surrounding each team.A guess at Julian Nagelsmann’s lineup.A prediction on the match.As always, we love your feedback and appreciate all the support!Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

Bayern Munich unthinkably played to a 1-1 draw with Villarreal, which put the Spanish club through to the Champions League semifinals and sent the Bavarians packing from European play for the season.There is a lot to unload from this match, so let’s get right to it.
