Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich Match Preview
Bundesliga Champions Bayern Munich travel to Signal Iduna Park in a top of the table clash with Borussia Dortmund. This Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich clash will be played on Saturday, November 4. Here are the predictions for the match between Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich.
Dortmund
Dortmund started the season under new coach Peter Bosz in exemplary fashion by collecting clean sheets in all their five opening matches. However, defeats to RB Leipzig (3-2) and Hannover 96 (4-2) combined with a draw (2-2) against Eintracht Frankfurt has pulled them down. They currently are second in the Bundesliga table with 20 points from 10 games, three points lower than Bayern. The less talked about Champions League, the better because Dortmund look destined to crash out of the group stages with just two points from four games so far. The worry for the hosts is their problems in front of the goal as they struggle to score goals despite creating enough chances. With their top spot at stake, Dortmund will hope to be at their best against their top rivals.
Bayern Munich
The arrival of old horse Jupp Heynckes has invigorated Bayern Munich and how! Having won all six fixtures under their new coach, Bayern look to have got their mojo back. Heynckes is in his fourth term at the club and the last time he was here in 2013, Bayern won the treble. The attacking trio of Arjen Robben, Robert Lewandowski and James Rodriguez are closer to their best and should be confident of a positive result in this fixture. A 2-0 win over RB Leipzig leapfrogged them over the big spenders into the top spot of the league. A win this weekend against Dortmund will consolidate their top place. Can the visitors continue their dream start under Heynckes?
