In the last round in Duisburg after less then twenty minutes Bayern confirmed taking three new points. Actually Ottl brought the lead for his side only three minutes into the game, only for Podolski to definitely seal the deal in the next fifteen minutes.
Coach Hitzfeld will in his last appearance as the Bavarian side boss, fiedl the 4-4-2 formation. After nose operation, Klose will be in the team, most likely starting the match on the bench. After a minor injury captain Kahn is also back in the team to take up his place in front of the net. Attacking tandem will be Toni-Podolski su pported by Ribery, Schweinsteiger, Ze Roberto and van Bommel from the midfield. Sagnol and Lucio won’t be able to play due to injuries, so Lell and Demichelis will play instead. Hamit Altintop, Wagner and Frustner also won’t play due to injuries.
In the last round Hertha reached a minimum triumph over Nurnberg in the last home game this season. Young Raffael’s strike about fifteen minutes before time saw Berlin side mark third successive triumph in the finish of the season, and after that they moved to the upper half of the standings after a long time spent down.
Unlike his fellow countryman and colleague, coach Favre opted for a somewhat defensive line-up with only one forward. The best scorer of the team, Pantelic should be supported by Raffael, Piszczek and Lustenberger, while captain Friedrich is back after a longer absence due to injury. Hertha have gave some very good performances in the last few rounds, so they will try to end the negative tradition in this away game, since they have gone more than 30 years without celebrating in Munich. Lucio, Schmidt, Ebert, Grahn, Cubukcu and Gang won’t be able to help their side.
