BERLIN, April 4- Was it an embarrassment or lax training-session? No matter how one rates the narrow 5-4 victory in the last-8-round of the German Cup this Wednesday evening against second-division side FC Heidenheim, there is no reason to be concerned for fans of Bayern Munich. "Think positive, we know about the importance, and we are confident," said striker Thomas Mueller ahead of the German Classico against Borussia Dortmund this Saturday evening. Everyone's feet seem behind the line as Bayern's performers speak about "a final" against Dortmund. Here are five reasons why the Bavarians will win the 2018/2019 season top game that some call the "Germanico." 1. STATISTICS Statistics speak volumes for the Bavarians. They won six of the last ten games apart from three Dortmund victories and one draw. Bayern won the last four games at home, scoring 17 goals. 100 battles saw 45 victories for the Reds, 25 for the Blacks and Yellows and 29 draws. Bayern scored the most goals after the 27th round of matches in the Bundesliga: 69 achieved by 16 different scorers (Dortmund 66/18). With two points behind Dortmund (63) it is a must for Bayern (61) to beat their rival with only six games to go after the Classico. Bayern won the last six German Championships. Since the 2009/2010 season, Bayern won seven Championships, Dortmund only two. |
