Augsburg / Leverkusen (dpa / lby) - In the last soccer game of the year, triple winner FC Bayern Munich is once again about a very important victory.

The German series champions need an away win against Bayer Leverkusen today (6.30 p.m.) to push the Rhinelander off the top of the table before the short Christmas break.

The form strong Leverkusen go into the top game of the 13th matchday with one point ahead of the defending champion.

"I hope that we will change positions in the table and jump back to first place," said the striker Robert Lewandowski, who was crowned world footballer for the first time on Thursday.

FC Augsburg will receive Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday (3:30 p.m.).

With a home win, coach Heiko Herrlich's team could settle in the upper half of the table.

Against the draw kings from Hesse, Augsburg can again compete with Florian Niederlechner.

The attacker last had to watch the 1-0 in Bielefeld blocked.
