Hansi Flick wants Bayern Munich to maintain momentum as they face Dusseldorf

The perennial German champions are on course for an eighth successive league title.

Hansi Flick's side can kick on this weekend

Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick wants his side to build on their performance against title rivals Borussia Dortmund as they bid to open up a 10-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga when they host Fortuna Dusseldorf on Saturday.

The perennial German champions are on course for an eighth successive league title after Joshua Kimmich’s stunning chip sealed a 1-0 win at their nearest rivals on Tuesday.

Bayern have the chance to take another giant step towards the Bundesliga crown on Saturday, when Uwe Rosler’s relegation-threatened Dusseldorf arrive in Bavaria.

Few expect anything other than a home win, which would stretch their lead at the summit to 10 points with Dortmund not in action against Paderborn until Sunday.
