Prediction: 2-2
Borussia Dortmund
There will be fireworks when Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund face each other in der Klassiker on Saturday evening. The league leaders aim to build on a 3-1 win over St. Pauli, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Vincent Kompany’s troops. With Jamal Musiala suffering a serious injury in the last league match, Thomas Muller is expected to start against Borussia Dortmund, while both Alphonso Davies and Dalot Upamecano remain in the recovery room.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Mainz and Freiburg. Borussia Dortmund have found their best form of late and given Musiala’s injury blow for the hosts, there is a big value in betting on draw. Nico Schlotterbeck returns from suspension for the visiting side, but Marcel Sabitzer has yet to overcome his injury. Summer signing Serhou Guirassy should be recalled to the starting XI.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):
Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
Highlighted Team (Borussia Dortmund):
1909 by eighteen footballers from Dortmund. Die Schwarzgelben (The Black and Yellows) play their home games at Signal Iduna Park, but the stadium’s original name is Westfalenstadion. The capacity of Borussia’s home ground is 81,539 and it has to be noted that the stadium was opened in 1974. BVB have the highest average attendance in the world of football.
Borussia Dortmund have won eight Bundesliga trophies, while clinching the German Cup title three times.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1997 when they outplayed Juventus in the Champions League final. Karl-Heinz Riedle scored a brace for BVB in the 3-1 win over Juve, with Lars Ricken finding the net in the title game as well. Borussia’s biggest rivals are Schalke 04 and the two teams square off against each other in the Revierderby.
