Second placed Bayern Munich can go back to the top of the Bundesliga with a home win over leaders Borussia Dortmund. Bayern go into this game just a point behind their opponents. Bayern Munich left for the international break on a low, losing 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen. That loss saw them drop to their current position and will be hoping not to fall further back. To achieve that, Bayern have to address their defensive shortcomings, which have seen them manage two clean sheets only in the last five matches. Coming into this game, they have former Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel as the man in charge replacing the sacked Julian Nagelsmann and that gives this match an extra punch. In the first leg meeting, Bayern let go of a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund gave the perfect response to Bayern Munich losing their last outing, by beating FC Cologne 6-1 to not only return to winning ways but also boost their goal difference. Dortmund are without a win in the last five matches against Bayern and will hope this time they get it right. A win will see them pull four points clear and that should be a good motivator. Dortmund, like Bayern Munich, have a good scoring run; in their last four matches, they’ve scored at least two goals in three. They have 11 goals in the last five matches, but they’ve managed just one clean sheet in the last five matches. The visitors have overcome their earlier poor run away from home, and come into this game with a five match unbeaten run in the league on their travels. They have four wins in five away league matches, and scored twice in four of their last five away league games.
