When Borussia Dortmund meet Bayern Munich, It’s always the most awaited clash of the Bundesliga season. The two sides meet for the first time this year, after the incredible end of the 2022-23 season, when Bayern Munich managed to win the championship only because Edin Terzic’s team failed to win against Mainz. This year, the two sides are currently fighting at the top of the table and still haven’t lost a single game between them. Bayern are second, two points behind Bayer Leverkusen, with 23 points while Dortmund are fourth with 21 points. Here’s our storylines, how you can watch the match and more:
