Dortmund - Bayern: Confirmed lineups and live updates

04 nov 2017

Dortmund are winless in their last five matches in the Bundesliga and Champions League and lost back-to-back competitive home games before the disappointing 1-1 draw with APOEL. With the Signal-Iduna-Park having lost its status as a fortress for now and BVB's 4-2 defeat at Hannover from last weekend in mind, the side desperately needs to improve its balance again to have a chance against the resurrected defending champions.

Bayern have won all of their six competitive matches, in regular time or after penalties, since manager Jupp Heynckes returned to the club and were able to rest key players in the Champions League this week. They will want to increase the gap between themselves and Dortmund to six points with another win here and hope to take advantage of an unsettled BVB side.

Expect this to be a very intense game from the outset, with Bayern favourites to further increase Dortmund's struggles.
