The clash of the 19th Round of the Bundesliga consists of the duel between cup-holder Werder Bremen and record champion Bayern Munich.
After the 15th matchday Werder ranked with three points behind Bayer Leverkusen on position two of the Bundesliga. Three rounds later - and scarred by as many defeats - the Bremen football world looks quite more gloomier, the gap to the top of the league grew for ten points. Hope for ascent cherishes from the results of previous duels with the Munich - unbeaten in four games - and at least the return of top scorer Claudio Pizarro in the starting line-up.
The Bavarians seem to reach their full potential in the last few games. In fact, the German record-holding champions overcame last seven matches (all competitions) without any loss of points. The last defeat in the Bundesliga is back almost four months, as Ribery and Co. drew the straw against Hamburger SV. Looking forward to the North-South summit, Bayern-supporters focus on the comeback of remarkable wing-duet "Robbery", a newly coined word meaning the united appearance of both superstars, Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry.
