Bayern tackle old boy's Nuremberg

Fresh from their midweek European exploits, newly-crowned Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich face a resurgent Nuremberg team coached by a former player on Saturday.

Bayern's 2-0 win at Juventus on Wednesday put them into the last four of the Champions League with a 4-0 quarter-final win on aggregate and they will discover their semi-final opponents in Friday's draw. Having flirted with the relegation places earlier this season, Saturday's opponents Nuremberg are unbeaten in their last nine games and are 10th in the league, but just four points from a Europa League spot for next season.

Japan midfielder Hiroshi Kiyotake has been in great form of late, setting up four goals in the last three games and is always dangerous from dead ball situations.

Bayern were confirmed German champions for the 23rd time last Saturday after their 1-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt with six games left, the earliest title win in Bundesliga history.
