Bayern Munich currently look unstoppable in the Bundesliga and many expect them to run away with the league title again this time around.
However, Borussia Dortmund still remains their biggest rival and they will be looking to give them a run for their money in the DFB Pokal third round.
Bayern Munich needed penalties to defeat Dortmund in this season’s curtain raiser – the German Super Cup.
However, when they both met for the first time in the league at Borussia Dortmund’s home, it was Bayern Munich who won thanks to goals from Arjen Robben, Robert Lewandoski and David Alaba before a consolation goal from Marc Bartra from Dortmund.
Bayern Munich are form favourites heading into this game as they have five wins and one loss from their last six matches while Borussia Dortmund managed just two wins and two draws from their last six games.
With their attacks being led by Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Robert Lewandoski respectively, this game should be a thriller with goals at both ends.
Aubameyang has already netted three times in this competition this season, with Lewandoski helping himself to two goals.
Bayern have been dominant in the league this season and they have already beaten Dortmund twice.
They are clear favourites, however, both teams did score in their previous two encounters and that makes this game a tight affair.
Bookmakers side strongly with Munich in this game making them early odds-on favourites to come out on top.
