Borussia Dortmund will host Bayern Munich at a sold-out Signal Iduna Park on Saturday evening, with kickoff at 7:30 pm.
Despite having lost two of their last three league matches, Borussia Dortmund should be confident heading into their meeting with Bayern Munich on Saturday, especially after bagging a 4-1 win away to Sevilla in midweek.
England international Jude Bellingham, who captained Dortmund in Seville, became the first-ever teenager to score in three successive Champions League matches, with Raphael Guerreiro, Karim Adeyemi, and Julian Brandt all getting themselves on the scoresheet.
As well as they bounced back from their disappointing 3-2 defeat away to FC Koln last weekend.
Bayern Munich returned to winning ways in the Bundesliga last Friday night with a 4-0 thumping over hapless Bayer Leverkusen, with Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala, and Thomas Muller scoring along with Sadio Mane.
The Bavarians also won 5-0 against Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday night, keeping their 100% record in the Champions League this season and moving six points clear of third-placed Barcelona in Group C.
Their trip to Dortmund on Saturday may well be the toughest test of the season. It will provide a more accurate measure of whether they have put their remarkable run of four winless league games before the international break behind them.
