Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munchen Tips

Borussia Dortmund played no fewer than six matches and even though their opponents were not the best teams in continental football, the results were impressive. Except for the recent defeat at the hands of Liverpool, the German side was dominant both in the offensive and in their own half. Opponents had a hard time scoring and many chose to defend for 90 minutes, which eventually backfired.

Dortmund was not overly concerned about winning, but rotating players and this explains why they chose to use four different strikers in the last couple of matches. A decision is yet to be made about the ones that will feature in the first 11 once the regular-season starts, but Immobile and Aubemayang are among the favorites. They will also pair upfront tonight and will get the chance to prove their worth in a rather difficult match that will bring tens of thousands of fans to the stadium.

Bayern Munchen is perhaps the better team, with formidable players and an equally competent coach, but their results in 2013/2014 were only mildly satisfying. Winning the Bundesliga helped in alleviating the pressure, but the fact that they failed to make the final in the Champions League didn't go unnoticed. The rivalry with Borussia Dortmund and the fact that the regular season is about to begin will motivate the visitors to play their best tonight, so this will look nothing like a friendly match.

Key Facts

• The two teams have split points in the last four games and overall, they won 16 games and drew 18 when Borussia Dortmund had home pitch advantage.
