The rivalry between Bayern and Borussia Dortmund has been considered the most important and most fundamental in German football for the past two decades. Akin to the relationship between Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Primera. Once the leaders of German football even met in the Champions League final. Last football year somewhat shook up the established traditions. Dortmund club for the first time in nine seasons fell out of the top 3 teams in the Bundesliga, taking fifth place, and the Munich team for the first time in eleven years have not won a trophy, becoming third in the standings. The beginning of the current season has demonstrated that the conclusions in the off-season made only Bayern, which easily and effortlessly dominates the championship, leaving analysts no room for fantasy about the future winner of the Bundesliga. Bookmakers have identified the guests as favourites for the upcoming meeting, offering odds of 1.66 on their victory.

Borussia Dortmund after eleven rounds of the Bundesliga is in fifth place, ten points behind the leader. Interestingly, the Bumblebees are separated from the tenth position by only three points, so it is impossible to feel comfortable in this situation. On the one hand, for Bayern, such an opponent is akin to a mid-table division. On the other hand, Borussia this season has one dangerous feature for the guests. This team in Dortmund has played eight official matches of the season and won all of them. The total goal difference in these meetings was 26-7. But away Borussia plays simply nightmarish, losing to everyone from Real Madrid to Augsburg and Mainz.

Bayern can be happy with their play this season. In seventeen matches from August this year to the beginning of this week, Kompany's wards won thirteen times, and to the meeting with PSG on Tuesday approached in a series of six dry wins. Another thing is that Bayern players should not be concerned about excessive relaxation before the meeting in Dortmund, as in duels with Bayer and Eintracht the team scored one point each, and Barcelona and Aston Villa lost at all. Borussia beat Bayern Munich in March this year, for which they will surely pay for on their home pitch on Saturday.
