Borussia Dortmund - Bayern München

Statistic:

- In the last 7 games between these two sides it was always a change who wins.
- If we walk on, therefore Dortmund has the better sign for them and they win here.
- BvB  has more Points collected already as in the whole first half of the season.
- And they are only 1 behind Bayern Munich 2015.
- Bayern had some problems at least against Top 5 teams, they were only able to get 12 from 25 Points.
- Both teams allow not much shots on target, therefore it can be a very tactical game.

This it the top match although Dortmund is far away from a top place at the moment. This is only due to their bad first half they played. 2015 they do much better and they are under the top teams if you take a look at the table form second half. Nevertheless the play from Dortmund is not so good and they have to improve a lot, in front of the gaol they need to many attempts for a goal and in defensive work they are a bit unstable. Once again Klopp has to improve in his defensive line above all both wings are more as open. According to the injury list it is not the best, Kirch who replaced Picszek is out additional now and all the other guys like Großkreutz are not ready yet. On the other side both Durm and Schmelzer have injury problems, it is more as open who play today there. Both are working on their comebacks but if one of them can play it is hard because without any match praxis and coming fresh from injury it is always a bit dangerous in such a top game. In midfield and attack has Klopp a lot to choose because almost all are available there.

It is not the best atmosphere at Bayern Munich at the moment. First they lost two weeks ago at home against Gladbach but this was not enough. Robben got injured in this game and is out longer, Ribery his partner on the other wing is not ready yet, Badstuber is also out again and the next big blow comes form Alaba who got injured against Bosnien under the week. This means that the problems are getting bigger and bigger for Bayern and Coach Guardiola now. The defensive line is the last available one he can choose. In midfield it is very open who plays there, Lahm is back after long injury time and can start here for the first time 2015. He can play beside Alonso in central midfield while Schweinsteiger move forward on the wing but this is not the best place for him anyway. On the other wing it is Müller expected due to less alternatives. Both biggest weapons are out with Ribery and Robben and this hurt Bayern huge. Above all they are not so dangerous without this duo or if one of them play. Of course they have a lot potential in their squad anyway but some players are hard to replace and this can be this time.

Overall a close match expected and both former players Lewandowski and Götze getting a big chorus of whistles from the BvB fans. This can bring a lot of hot atmosphere to the pitch and it can be a hard fight.
