The German "Klassiker" is approaching, marking its 138th edition since the founding of the Bundesliga. The venue on Saturday evening is the Allianz Arena of FC Bayern Munich. The league leader's record is still flawless this season. The guest is BVB, which only dropped points at the start against St. Pauli. Can they be the first to challenge FCB? Here’s everything important about the personnel.
Emre Can and Julien Duranville are the last remaining absentees at BVB due to injuries. Cole Campbell has also traveled to the U20 World Cup in Chile. Although he was eliminated with the USA in the quarterfinals, he is not expected back in time for this match.
The kicker assumes that coach Niko Kovac will start with the following lineup:
Gregor Kobel – Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini – Julian Ryerson, Marcel Sabitzer, Felix Nmecha, Daniel Svensson – Karim Adeyemi, Maximilian Beier – Serhou Guirassy
However, Niklas Süle, Julian Brandt, and Pascal Groß also have good chances of being called into Dortmund’s starting eleven against FC Bayern.

FC Bayern Munich must do without three players. Specifically, these are:
Again, the Kicker expects that coach Vincent Kompany will start his team as follows:
Manuel Neuer – Sacha Boey, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Konrad Laimer – Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic – Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, Luis Diaz – Harry Kane
Among bookmakers, the hosts from FC Bayern Munich are very clear favorites to win. Odds for such a bet are usually offered at 1.33. For a BVB victory in Munich, the odds range between 7.25 and 8.00 – which clearly assigns BVB an underdog role.
Last season, the two clubs each drew. In Munich, the result was 2:2, in Dortmund 0:0. Since BVB even won 2:0 in Munich before that, they are now unbeaten in three matches against FCB.
Additionally, both contenders are on very long unbeaten runs in the Bundesliga. FC Bayern is currently unbeaten in fifteen matches. For BVB, this streak has lasted for fourteen games.
