Overview
- Leaders Bayern welcome second‑placed Borussia Dortmund to the Allianz Arena on Saturday, with both teams unbeaten and Bayern four points clear after six league matches.
- Bayern have won 10 of 10 in all competitions and average more than four league goals per game, led by Harry Kane’s 11 Bundesliga goals after returning from international duty in scoring form.
- Dortmund arrive with new defensive solidity under Niko Kovač, conceding just one goal in their past five league matches, and striker Serhou Guirassy has been cleared to play.
- Kovač says Bayern remain clear favorites but insists his side is confident and must be brave in Munich, while Bayern coach Vincent Kompany praises Dortmund’s stability and focuses on a home win.
- Recent meetings in Munich offer BVB some encouragement, with a 2-0 win in 2024 and a draw since, even as Bayern have dominated most Klassiker encounters at the Allianz Arena.
