Bayern Munich host Borussia Dortmund today at the Allianz Arena in a pivotal Bundesliga clash, with the reigning champions aiming to extend their lead over Bayer Leverkusen in the title race.
Currently, Bayern Munich sit atop the Bundesliga with 68 points from 28 matches, holding a six-point advantage over second-placed Leverkusen. A victory against Dortmund would not only solidify their position but also provide a morale boost following their recent 2-1 home defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League.
Despite missing key players like Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, Jamal Musiala, and Manuel Neuer due to injuries, Bayern’s attacking prowess remains formidable. Harry Kane, leading the Bundesliga scoring charts, will be central to their offensive efforts.
Borussia Dortmund, under the guidance of former Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovač, are eighth in the league with 41 points. They aim to rebound from a heavy 4-0 loss to Barcelona in the Champions League and improve their domestic standing.
Historically, Der Klassiker has been a tightly contested fixture, with the previous meeting ending in a 1-1 draw. However, Bayern’s home advantage and superior form make them favorites in this encounter.
As the season approaches its climax, today’s match could be decisive in determining the Bundesliga champion.
