Bayern Munich stars Arjen Robben and Bastian Schweinsteiger are hoping that the friendly with Ahli would aid their preparation for the second half of the season. Bayern clash with the Egyptian giants on Saturday in Doha, where the German titans are having a mid-season camp. “They are a good team. We want to be taking advantage of the facilities of our winter break to be ready for the second half of the season,” Dutch winger Robben told Al-Jazeera Sport TV. Germany midfielder Schweinsteiger, who recently returned from injury, added: “This is our first time against this team. “I don't know much about the club but I heard they've won the African Champions League six times maybe. We are hoping for a good meeting.” Bayern, currently in charge of the Bundesliga table, resume their domestic campaign on January 20 as they face Swiss champions Basel in the Champions League a month later.
