Bundesliga – Borussia Dortmund to face Bayern Munich on Match-day 9
Saturday at the Signal Iduna Park, as Dortmund host Bayern in the Bundesliga.
Both Dortmund and Bayern currently share Champion’s League qualification hopes, as they sit fourth and third in the Bundesliga, respectively.
Borussia Dortmund face his opponents with equal points, it will likely be a thrilling encounter
Another victory would be a terrific achievement, but that is what Edin Terzic will be asking from his team, as they go into this game on the back of strong results after beating FC Köln 3-2 and Schalke 1-0
Also, Dortmund keep finding ways to win, having secured five victories in their last eight matches is astonishing this season and they are looking worthy of the aspiration to qualify for Champion’s League football. Now they have 5 matches won, 3 games lost and 0 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in fourth place, with a total of 15 points having won five meetings and lost three games.
When Dortmund host Bayern, they will do so on the back of three wins and one losses on their own ground.
A victory for Borussia Dortmund would put them on 18 points.
Dortmund may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.
Bayern Munich face their opponents, equal on points, with both keen to make progress
With Bayern having secured all three points on their two previous outings, Julian Nagelsmann’s men will doubtless be looking to retain their run after this fixture.
Also, Bayern are quickly becoming the Bundesliga’s draw specialists, having recorded three in their last five fixtures. With 15 points, they currently sit third in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 4 wins, 1 losses and 3 draws having won four meetings, drawn three games, and lost one game.
Bayern have won two matches, drawn one game, and lost one game of their four League matches on the road this season.
A win in this fixture would take Bayern Munich’s points to 18 in the League.
A solid defensive team
Bayern have a solid defence, with only six goals conceded in their previous games. Bayern have delivered goals in spades this season, largely down to the key attacking force of Jamal Musiala (5), Sadio Mane (4), and Leroy Sane (3).
Bayern’s squad has depth, but even so, Julian Nagelsmann is likely to be missing six of they key players when they start Saturday’s game.
