Bayern Munich Borussia Dortmund match preview

This is the biggest derby of the German football, looking at the results of the previous years, while this season as well as last one, Bayern is far better than all teams, even Borussia, which should have been their biggest rival in the fight for the title of the champions. In addition, the Bavarians would with a victory in this duel secure the title, at least mathematically, because they are 18 points away from Borussia, while Schalke is between them on the table. Bayern has after a long time suffered a defeat in the last round, which was absolutely painless, while Borussia’s elimination from Europa League was very painful. In the first part of the season, Bayern has celebrated with 3-1 in Dortmund

Bayern Munich

This derby is not of big importance for Bayern, because they have practically solved all dilemmas about defending the title and they will only have the motive in the fact that they want to mathematically achieve unreachable advantage. The first match of the quarterfinals of the Champions League is much more important for the Bavarians, and it will be played next week, since they totally neglected that competition for quite some time now.

It can be said that they were defeated in Leipzig in the last round, because they have played with a combined lineup in that match, although it is hard to say which team is the strongest in Bayern. Lewandowski, Ribery i Boateng were not in the team from the first minute, while Robben i Neuer were not in the team at all. It is hard to say which composition will coach Heynckes send on the field now, but we certainly expect the above mentioned trio, as well as Robben, and J. Martinez.

Probable lineups Bayern Munich: Ulreich – Kimmich, Boateng, Hummels, Alaba – J.Martinez – T.Muller, Vidal, Robben, Ribery – Lewandowski

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia has managed to record two wins in the championship, with the proviso that they played both duels at home and both wins were with one goal difference. They have mastered Eintracht with 3-2, thanks to a gaol by Batshuayi in the injury time, while they defeated Hannover with only 1-0 and the goal scorer was again Batshuayi, who has scored a lot of important and decisive goals. However, he did not help a lot in two matches with Salzburg in Europa League. After a home defeat of 2-1, they have played 0-0 as guests and their European story is over for this season.

They will not remember it in good way, primarily because of their very bad performances in the Champions League, where they have not recorded any wins. They can only maximally devote themselves to the championship and the fight for the second place, while even the third, or fourth is not so bad, because it would take them to the Champions League. Coach Stoger does not have to combine so much, so we expect Socratis to return to the center-back and that Wigl plays on the position of defensive midfielder, while Kagawa, Durm, Rode, Zagadou i Yarmolenko are all still out of action.

Probable lineups Borussia Dortmund: Burki – Piszczek, Akanji, Sokratis, Schmelzer – Weigl, Dahoud – Castro, M.Gotze, Schurrle – Batshuayi

Verdict:

This duel is much more important for Borussia, but Bayern will not let go of the points so easily, especially because they are at home, so this could be one very good and interesting match that would bring goals on both sides of the field.
