Pep shows strain

BERLIN. — Pep Guardiola is showing signs of feeling the pressure as German Bundesliga soccer leaders Bayern Munich hunt their first win of the year at strugglers VfB Stuttgart today.

Bayern have failed to impress so far in 2015 in their two matches since returning from the Bundesliga’s winter break with an 11-point lead. Their shock 4-1 thrashing at second-placed Wolfsburg last Friday was followed by a 1-1 draw at home to Schalke on Tuesday after playing for 70 minutes with ten men. The Bayern coach sprinted 45 metres to remonstrate with the assistant referee after a Robert Lewandowski goal was disallowed against Schalke.

FIXTURES:

Today: Wolfsburg v Hoffenheim, Mainz 05 v Hertha Berlin, Freiburg v Borussia Dortmund, VfB Stuttgart v Bayern Munich, Cologne v Paderborn, Hamburg v Hanover

Tomorrow: Werder Bremen v Bayer Leverkusen, Augsburg v Eintracht Frankfurt.. — AFP.
