(Courtesy : Bundesliga)
Bundesliga Matchday 22 is set to be underway
VfL Bochum are placed in the 14th position of the Bundesliga, they are six points off the relegation zone and will give a very tough fight to the German giants Bayern Munich. They have one win, one loss and three draws in their last five games. Last time out they drew 1-1 with Eintracht Frankfurt. Moritz Broschinski got their only goal in that game. They will try to get something from this match as they will play in their home.
Munich lost 1-0 to Lazio in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie this week. It is not a good time to be at Bayern right now, their 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga last week puts them five points behind Xabi Alonso’s side in the league. Thomas Tuchel’s team desperately needs to get back to winning ways and hope that Leverkusen slip up if they are to have any chance of winning the Bundesliga this season. This will be a very important side for Bayern as well as for Thomas Tuchel.

Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich)
A versatile player who is able to play in a variety of offensive positions. His technique, awareness, tactical intelligence, finishing and positioning are excellent. He is a leader on the field and will be very hungry to help his team get all three points.
