Bayern Tackle Mainz for Consolidation
Football lovers are in for an exciting time as Nigeria’s popular Pay TV network, StarTimes, is set to broadcast live this week’s top contenders in the German League, the Bundesliga, as league leader Bayern Munchen hosts FSV Mainz 05 at the Allianz Arena in what analysts dubbed a redemption match for Mainz.
Bayern Munich captain, Philipp Lahm believes the game at home to Mainz is the second part of a crucial trio of matches that can be decisive in their bid to retain the Bundesliga title.
“After playing Juventus in the Champions League it was not an easy away game to play and it is a big week for us with games against Wolfsburg, Mainz and away to Dortmund,” said Lahm.
“We have got a decisive week coming up with a home fixture against Mainz. I think it will be a decisive week in the title race. If we manage to win both of our next games then we can definitely talk about the championship, but we still have a long way to go”, he said.
Chief Operating Officer, StarTimes, Tunde Aina, said its commitment to delivering quality sporting content to its subscribers was the reason behind the acquisitions of sporting rights like the Serie A, Bundesliga, French Ligue 1, Chinese Super League, Eredivisie and recently, the 2018 FIFA World Cup in over 48 territories in Africa.
