Borussia Dortmund is welcoming Bayern Munich to Signal Iduna Park in a Der Klassiker of round 14 of the German Bundesliga. Borussia is in solid form, they have nothing to play in the Champions League, which means their focus will be on Bundesliga. Bayern is the top team in Germany, they have also nothing to play in Bundesliga, but they will go all-in in this game.
Unfortunately for Borussia, they have a lot of injuries, and big injuries, but the good news is they have gotten Haaland back for this game. In their last game against Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund has been the better team with 59% of ball possession, 8 shots on goal, 7 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and 82% of the correct passes. Borussia has conceded early in this game, in the 2nd minute, but Borussia has recovered nicely, and with 3 scored goals, Borussia Dortmund has won this game 1-3. Haaland is still the leading goalscorer for Borussia with 10 goals, and he will be in the starting lineup for this game. Haaland has also added 4 assists. As I’ve mentioned the injury list is long, and that is concerning for Borussia because they don’t have the depth now to face Bayern.
With 31 points, Bayern is at the top of Bundesliga, and they have scored a fantastic 42 goals in 13 games so far this season. Defensively, Bayern is inconsistent, but they have conceded 13 goals in 13 games, which is not bad. As far as the Champions League goes, Bayern is at the top of their group with 15 points, they have conceded 3 goals and scored 19 goals. Bayern is safe, but I somehow doubt they won’t go for the win against Barcelona next week. Bayern was playing against Arminia at home in their last game, and they were the dominant team with 73% of ball possession, 9 shots on goal, 13 corner kicks, 4 big chances created, and 87% of the correct passes. Bayern was dominant, they created a ton of chances, but they were struggling with scoring goals. In the 71st minute, Sane has finally scored a goal for Bayern, and they have won this game 1-0. After winning the award for the best striker in the world, Lewandowski will lead Bayern in this game, and he will look for his 15th goal this season. Bayern also has a couple of injuries and a few covid cases, but they have enough quality to beat anyone out there.
Dortmund has been perfect at home so far this season, and they were able to keep up with Bayern until now, but I think all the injuries will impact their game, in a bad way. Bayern is the top team, they are creating a lot of chances and scoring a lot of goals, and I think that will be the case here as well.
