Please leave your predictions here!!

Lets see if we can bring that 2nd half performance against Real to the Bundesliga ,Schalke vs Leverkusen would be a good match.

With Fritz still injured, Pasanen playing again and this completely out of form squad, I can see us losing against bottom-of-the-table Gladbach, who need every point they can get in the relegation struggle.

Go right ahead.

We actually may. But fortunately, you're playing against Wolfsburg at home on Saturday. They'll just park the bus again, and you probably will be at your wits end, just like in the first match last year. Then they'll hit you with a single counter, and Hoeness won't invite Augenthaler on a Weißwurscht again.

Looks like Stuttgart are having problems with Hertha tonight. Hertha are playing very defensively it seems, and Stuttgart have not found out a way to break them down yet. Still 0:0 after 60 minutes.

Dejagah for Ede. I rate Dejagah, a bright prospect IMHO. Hertha do have quite a few talents in their squad. He'll move to Wolfsburg next season.

It is just confirming Schalke's winning the league.

Schalke have quite a few injuries to take care of, I still expect them to drop points in the next few weeks. And the match between Stuttgart and Hertha is not over yet.

I really have a soft spot for Hertha ,specially for bringing up German talents.

If we finally get our act together, and Bayern also, this might become one of the most exciting endings of a season ever. If not, Schalke will win it with ease.

Lets do it then but dont know if we are capable , we are a bit missing in very important areas.

Dejagah is send off.

Heh yeah, second booking. Guess that youngster was too motivated for his own good, after all the fuss in the last few weeks about his transfer to Wolfsburg.

It is a draw.

Stuttgart vs. Hertha Berlin 0:0 FT


Good for Schalke and us, if we actually win our match against Gladbach, of course.

Expected line up.

Makaay on the bench? Maybe I should reconsider my prediction then...

He's rested , anyway Makaay and Poldi didnt work so he is trying Piza and Poldi.

Rested? Not a wise decision to rest your best player imo now that you need every point to reach the CL...

HSV 1 0 Frankfurt Van Der Vaart.

Mainz are winning 2 nil , Zidan the scorer.

van der Vaart is looking good in his past 3 games.

Bayern are winning 1 0 , Poldi scored.

Van Bommel , yes
2 0

Frankfurt equalise .. HSV, it was too good to be true.

Are you watching Rai?

No, just watching the ticker .. i will see the highlights later on and see if HSV were lucky/unlucky.

You watching Bayern? van Bommel again

Yeah , we seem to pick up from the 2nd half in Madrid.

Poldi and Piza are doing well together , so is Goerlitz.

I can remember the last time Podolski scored for Bayern?

Bayern need a run to confirm a place in the Champions League next season.
