Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich: The key battles which could decide the game

Borussia Dortmund host Bayern Munich on Saturday in what promises to be a cracking encounter between the Bundesliga’s top two sides.

Borussia Dortmund play host to Bayern Munich this weekend in a game with three massive points on the line. Although it is still very early in the season, this is always an important fixture no matter when these two sides play each other. If Dortmund are going to reach their title ambitions, they need to make the most of their games against Bayern. It’s really tough to make up ground against Bayern if you don’t take three points from at least one of the two meetings.

Dortmund have a lot of question marks heading into the game on top of existing injuries. Emre Can just returned to training on Thursday after his positive Coronavirus test and could potentially make his return if he is fit in time. Mats Hummels is also recovering from the hamstring injury he picked up against Bielefeld and faces a race to get back in time.

Here is a look at three battles that could decide Saturday’s game.
