adminBERLIN. — Bayern Munich are on course to break yet another Bundesliga record by being crowned German soccer champions in March after opening a 19-point lead at the top of the table. The European champions’ 4-0 win at Hanover 96 on Sunday extended their record unbeaten league run to 47 matches and was their 14th consecutive Bundesliga victory, just one short of their own league record set in 2005.
If Bayern maintain their massive points lead, they will have their 24th German league title confirmed at the latest by March 29 when they host Hoffenheim at Munich’s Allianz Arena.
Bayern won last season’s title in April with a record six games to spare, a mark the current team is on course to at least equal, but no team has ever been confirmed as Bundesliga champions in March.
Bayern can even extend their points lead as they face top five sides Schalke, Wolfsburg and Leverkusen in the coming weeks. — AFP.
