Soccer on TV: Bayern Munich needs a win to keep its tentative grasp on top spot in Bundesliga

Bayern Munich (13-4-3) had spent one week alone atop the German table this season before regaining the lead last weekend. But it will be a short stay if the seven-time defending German champions can’t beat visiting Leipzig (12-3-5) on Sunday (FS2, Fox Deportes, 9 a.m. PST). After a slow start that saw it drop as far as seventh in the standings, Bayern has finally hit stride by winning its last six league games while outscoring opponents 23-3. Leipzig, meanwhile, has won just twice in its last five Bundesliga matches to fall out of first place for the first time since mid-December.
