Match Preview: Borussia Dortmund face Bayern Munich with Bundesliga title on the line
By Tom Rodgers
Players to Watch
Jadon Sancho will be looking to torment Bayern Munich once again as he looks set to return to the side on Tuesday night. The winger was the star of the show in Borussia Dortmund’s win over Bayern in the DFL-Supercup in August.
Another to watch for Dortmund is Julian Brandt. Brandt has been in fantastic form since the restart and he has been near impossible to live with. His range of passing and vision have been key to the team’s last two wins.
For Bayern, Alphonso Davies has been an influential player going forward and also defensively. His defensive awareness matched well with his dribbling and agility make him a key asset in his new found left back position. Davies has been flying over the last few games and he capped these performances with a goal against Frankfurt. He certainly is a player Dortmund will have to keep an eye on.
Another one to watch for Bayern is of course Robert Lewandowski. The striker has been on fire all season, and he has 27 league goals to his name already. The former Dortmund man is the key component to the Bayern system. With an average strike rate of a goal every 82 minutes, the Dortmund backline will have to be on top form to prevent him from scoring.
