November 09: Away to Bayern Munich

Borussia Dortmund’s final game before the international break sees them travel to Bayern Munich for the second Der Klassiker of the season.

Borussia Dortmund beat Bayern rather comfortably to win the DFL Supercup in August. But Bayern have improved since then, and are currently second in the Bundesliga standings, one point behind leaders Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Robert Lewandowski is in incredible form, and has carried the Bavarians at times this season. He loves scoring against his former employers, and will be determined to get on the scoresheet when the two sides meet in ten days time.

Bayern have looked a little leaky defensively in recent weeks, and Dortmund will be hoping to take advantage of that.
