Bayern Munich has had a tremendous season. In its first 17 games, the team has had a record of 13 wins, three draws, and only one loss with 44 goals scored and only seven conceded. The team has built up a solid nine point lead over the second place squad, Bayer Leverkusen, and has a chance to extend that lead Saturday when it takes on 20th place SpVgg Greuther Furth at home.
By the standards it has set this season, Munich has struggled with three draws in its last six matches. In its last game against eighth place Borussia Monchengladbach, Munich trailed until Xherdan Shaqiri tied it in the 59th minute. The team has pitched 11 clean sheets this season and has solid scoring from Mario Mandzukic and Thomas Müller.
The team's opponents this weekend will be 20th place SpVgg. The team has struggled all season with just one win, six draws, and 10 draws. The team has not won in its last 15 and has only scored 11 goals this season.
When these teams met on August 25, Bayern Munich took down SPVgg 3-0 with goals from Müller, Mandzukic, and an own goal.
Predictions: Munich will win easily by the score of 5-1.
