Stats, data, info – all you need to know about the Klassiker: BVB vs Bayern | OneFootball

The anticipation in Dortmund has certainly been greater before. The elimination from the Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo has caused considerable heartache for everyone who supports BVB. And now, of all times, the record champions are set to visit.

There’s no way to make amends. The knockout after the embarrassing 1-4 defeat in the CL play-off is final. But a win on Saturday (February 28, 6:30 pm) in the classic against FC Bayern Munich would at least lift the spirits again. Moreover, the Black and Yellows would move to within five points of the league leaders.

So far, the two clubs have faced each other 113 times in Germany’s top division. Munich have won almost half of all matches (55). In contrast, the Borussians have left the pitch as winners only 26 times. In 32 encounters, the points were shared. The goal difference is also clearly in favor of the southern Germans at 266:169.

Since the 2-1 defeat in the first leg, BVB have been unbeaten in the Bundesliga, collecting eleven wins and five draws during this period. Only their next opponent has surpassed these 38 points. FC Bayern did lose 2-1 at home to FC Augsburg, but still managed to collect one point more.

Goal Machine Kane

Defensively, Dortmund and Munich are not very different this season. The Red and Whites have conceded 21 goals, the Black and Yellows 22. However, the number of goals scored shows a huge difference. While Westphalia, together with TSG Hoffenheim, have the second-best attack in the league with 49 goals, the record champions’ 85 goals (a new Bundesliga record) are light years ahead. Harry Kane alone has scored 28 times this season, giving him more goals than six Bundesliga teams.

BVB’s last home win against Bayern in the Bundesliga dates back to the 2018/19 season. For the visitors, Robert Lewandowski twice put them ahead. Marco Reus equalized both times. Paco Alcácer was responsible for the much-celebrated 3-2 winning goal. Since that victory, Dortmund have managed only two draws in six meetings at Signal Iduna Park, with a goal difference of 7:14.
