Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readLothar Matthäus considers Bayern Munich "clear favourites" for Saturday’s Bundesliga top-of-the-table clash with Borussia Dortmund.
From the source
It’s “Der Klassiker” time on Saturday, as rivals Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund go head-to-head in a top-of-the-table clash in the Bundesliga. The two teams are level on points after seven rounds of the Bundesliga season, with Bayern leading only on goal difference.
Nevertheless, Lothar Matthäus expects Bayern to have the edge. He points to Bayern’s impressive home record this season, having won four and drawn one of their five home games across all competitions, with a goal difference of 25-4.
“They’re obviously a real force at the Allianz Arena, much like Leipzig, who seem to be able to perform only at home. Away from home, they’re completely ineffective.
