It’s Klassiker Day in Germany! The match of the year in the Bundesliga will take place at the legendary Signal Iduna Park Stadium in Dortmund with its 80,000 seats, kick-off at 6:30 p.m. In the standings, Bayern are leaders with eight points ahead of their second-placed opponent. BVB was eliminated in the Champions League play-off against Atalanta this week (2-0 in the first leg, 4-1 in the return). Niko Kovač and his men, however, remain on 16 matches without defeat in the league, including 11 victories. Their last setback, the first leg against Bayern, last October (2-1). Adeyemi regains a starting place after his goal in Bergamo on Wednesday, Beier will accompany him in support of Fabio Silva. Behind, Borussia will play with a two-man team, made up of Schlotterbeck and Anton.
The Bavarians, for their part, have only lost one match in the Bundesliga this season, have the best attack (85 goals scored) and the best defense (21 goals conceded). If they win today, they would take an almost decisive lead in the title race. The Munich residents are still involved in the Champions League, qualified directly for the 1/8 finals, after their second place in the league phase. Olise obviously starts just like Kane on the attacking front. In the middle, the Kimmich Pavlović duo will be aligned again, Urbig will be in the cages.
The compositions:
Dortmund: Kobel – Couto, Schlotterbeck, Anton, Svensson – Can, Nmecha, Sabitzer – Adeyemi, Beier, Silva
Bayern: Urbig – Stanišić, Upamecano, Tah – Kimmich, Pavlović, Laimer, Olise – Gnabry, Díaz, Kane
