Confirmed "Klassiker" lineups: Borussia Dortmund vs. FC Bayern | OneFootball

It's one of the most exciting days of the year in football Germany: It's the 139th edition of the “Klassiker”!

You might think it's been a somewhat balanced out matchuup over the past few years - but you'd be wrong: out of the last 15 “Klassikers”, Dortmund have only been able to win on one occasion in 2024 - Bayern on the other hand won eleven of the last 15 editions!

Dortmund want to shake off their anger and frustration after crashing out of the Champions League midweek - this feeling could either lift them up to new heights, or it will play right into the hands of the over-dominant Bavarians, who've had plenty of time to prepare.

With just about an hour to go until kick-off, here are the confirmed lineups of both sides:
