Der Klassiker Could Define the Title as Dortmund Host Bayern With 11-Point Gap at Stake

Vincent Kompany cast the clash as “a title in itself” after a sharp week of training, with Manuel Neuer doubtful and Jonas Urbig prepared to start if required.

Overview

  • Kick-off is Saturday at 17:30 GMT at Signal Iduna Park, where Borussia Dortmund face Bayern Munich in Matchday 24.
  • A Bayern victory would extend their lead to 11 points with roughly 10 games left, while a Dortmund win would cut the gap to five.
  • Dortmund enter after a dramatic Champions League exit to Atalanta decided by a 98th-minute penalty, and Niko Kovac urged a brave, front-foot display.
  • Dortmund remain unbeaten at home this Bundesliga season, while Bayern are unbeaten away and boast the league’s most potent attack with Harry Kane in prolific form.
  • Kompany reported a strong week and injury checks for Bayern, with Neuer a calf doubt and Hiroki Ito and Alphonso Davies sidelined, as Urbig stands by to start in goal if needed.
