MUNICH, May 13 (ONA) - Bayern Munich appears to be a strong candidate to win its eighth title successively, but Borussia Dortmund are leading a group of clubs seeking to take the Bavarian out of the lead after the resumption of the German Football League next Saturday after the forced closure due to the new Corona virus.

Two months after the suspension of the Bundesliga competitions, the league wheel will return to rotation from Saturday, with Bayern leading the standings with 55 points from 25 games, four points ahead from Dortmund, five points from Leipzig, and six points from Borussia Monchengladbach.

With nine stages remaining until the end of the 2019-2020 season, the competition appears fiery between the four clubs, and even Bayer Leverkusen, who is in fifth place (47 points), keeps its hopes for a rare title.

The clubs underwent “Covid-19” screening tests and were forced to set up isolated training camps due to the pandemic. All matches will be held behind closed doors and without fans. after the German League tournaments were full of spectators, even in the less important matches. It is worth mentioning that the German Bundesliga stadiums are used to be packed with spectators, even in less important matches.

So, the Bundesliga will not be as it was known. But some things may not change, especially about the identity of the next champion, because Bayern is standing on the threshold of a new coronation for the eighth time in a row.

The start of its season was stormy, and its coach, Niko Kovac, was sacked, but Hanzi Flick turned the table, with ten wins and one single draw in his last 11 games.

Despite the health-related closure, Bayern maintained its administrative activity, and Flick's contract was extended until 2023. It also renewed the contracts of striker Thomas Muller and Canadian back Alfonso Davis. Miroslav Klose, the best scorer in the history of the World Cup, joined his coaching staff to serve as assistant coach.

Bayern was the best before the start of the Corona pandemic. Polish striker Robert Lewandowski contributed to its points scoring 25 goals in 23 games. Lewandowski took advantage of the stop period for treatment completely from a severe injury he had suffered in late February in which he was expected to be four weeks away from the football courts.

Although “de Rothen” must visit Dortmund and Leverkusen, home matches will be the focus of attention by fans in the absence of audience inside the stadiums.
