After a disappointing start to the season, Bayern Munchen have recaptured their cutting edge, and between 29th November 2009 and 13th February 2010 they won nine straight matches – scoring an average of over three goals a game. They first gained the top spot in the Bundesliga after 18 matches had been played, and since then have only relinquished it for two weeks before regaining the lead.

The challengers to Bayern’s throne are numerous, for the title race in Germany is more open than most European leagues. Over the last ten years, Borussia Dortmund, Werder Bremen, VfB Stuttgart and VfL Wolfsburg have been worthy champions. This season, the nearest contenders are Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen, who are 2 and 3 points adrift respectively. With games against both to come as the Bundesliga reaches its climax, the big matches look set to decide the recipient of the title.

Meanwhile, Wolfsburg are looking to improve their disappointing league campaign with a recovery from mid-table. The Lower Saxony club won the Bundesliga title in the 2008-2009 with the help of their brilliant strikeforce of Grafite and the much sought-after Bosnian, Edin Dzeko. If Wolfsburg’s season is underwhelming Hertha Berlin’s is quite disastrous. After finishing a very credible fourth in last season, they currently rest at the foot of the table with just 15 points from 25 games – a points-to-games ratio that is worse than Premier League strugglers Portsmouth.

It is quite clear then that there are a number of important games coming up this March in the Bundesliga, and Tixdaq.com has tickets to all the following games and more:

This weekend sees the last set of fixtures before the Bundesliga breaks up for Christmas.

The most intriguing match on the coupon sees fifth place play fourth as Hamburg face Werder Bremen in the Nordbank Arena.

The match is a re-run of last season’s UEFA Cup semi-final in which Werder Bremen prevailed courtesy of Claudio Pizarro though the subsequent supension of midfield maestro Diego meant that Werder were overturned by Shakhtar Donetsk in the final.

The game should not lack for excitement as it pits two of three most potent attacking teams against each other. Hamburg’s threat comes from all over the field with Mladen Petric and Paolo Guerrero striking from the front while Eljero Elia and veteran Ze Roberto chip in from midfield.

Werder, meanwhile, can call on Pizarro as well as Aaron Hunt, Hugo Almeida and the midfield trickery of Mesut Ozil to cause defences problems.

Neither team has been in particularly good form of late with each recording just one win from their last five matches.

Both teams sit on 28 points and while a win for one team would obviously open up a three point gap to the other, the psychological boost it would provide to the victors before they signed off for their four-week break would be immeasurable.

It would also keep them right in the title race with leaders Bayer Leverkusen currently just four points ahead of them both.

The Bundesliga is as open as ever and once again has a rightful claim to be the most competitive league in Europe.

Tickets for Hamburg v Werder Bremen are still available via this website and are priced from £44.
