Preview: Bayern Munich vs. Hamburger SV

Bayern vs. Hamburg

Bayern Munich could make it eight wins on the spin in the Bundesliga when they host Hamburger SV on Saturday.

The hosts will be looking to bounce back from defeat to Manchester City in the Champions League and prove that losing from two goals ahead was just a blip.

Hamburg started well under new coach Bert van Marwijk but have won just once in their last five league games and only twice in eight away from home.

For the hosts, Arjen Robben, Holger Badstuber and Bastian Schweinsteiger remain out but Xherdan Shaqiri and Claudio Pizarro could be named in the squad.

Hamburg goalkeeper Rene Adler is a doubt with an ankle injury, but there could be a place in the squad for Rafael van der Vaart who returned to training this week.
