Borussia Dortmund

Jurgen Klopp built a fantastic team that would be the best in Europe, if not for one circumstance. And it is called Bavaria. Even in the memory of the Champions League final last season, in which the Munich defeated Borussia, winning the title of the strongest club of the Old World. For that, the Dortmunds took revenge in August, having beaten Bavaria in the match for the German Super Cup – 4: 2. Of course, the victory added to the Klopp team of pleasant emotions and additional psychological forces, but it is hardly worth comparing the meanings of both trophies.
Inspired by the victory in the Super Cup, Borussia issued an incredible start in the championship. In the first 7 rounds of the Bundesliga, the Dortmunds scored 19 points, tied only with Nuremberg. But then there was the first defeat. Menhengladbach teammates tried, who in their field beat the Klopp team with a score of 2: 0. To this, the Fiasco Dortmunds reacted in three victories in a row, until in the last round they came to visit Wolfsburg. It all seemed to be successful. After the first half, Klopp wards won 1: 0, but in the second half of the game they lost concentration, missed two goals and suffered a second defeat in the Bundesliga. However, the troubles did not end there. In a meeting with Wolfsburg, a subotich was a heavy injury, which will no longer play this season. In addition to him, Mats Hummels, Lukash of the Khemchk and Marcel Bemmonde also found themselves in the infirmary of the Dortmunds – all the main (!) Defenders of Borussia. Jurgen Klopp will have to change the defense line and it is unlikely that this replacement will be equivalent.Ilkay Gundogan and Zlatan Alomerovic also continue to recover from injuries. Will Dortmund with such personnel losses be able to oppose something to Bavaria?

In Bavaria, everything is going according to plan. Munich confidently rush to their next championship. In 12 rounds, Pep Guardiola's team scored 32 points, drawing only twice – on the road with Freiburg and Bayer. Both matches ended with the score 1:1. There are no problems in Bayern and in the Champions League. In 4 rounds, the Munich team got the maximum points and, unlike Borussia, they secured access to the playoffs.

The last match of the Bundesliga, Guardiola's wards played at home against Augsburg. Bayern, without particularly straining, scored three goals, which the guests could not answer with anything. Distinguished Boateng, Ribery and Muller. But one of these players will not play today. We are talking about Franck Ribery, who returned with an injury from the location of the national team. In addition to him, Holger Badstuber, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Sherdan Shakire and Claudio Pizzaro were out of the game, so there are also enough personnel losses in Bavaria. But the advantage of Munich is that the injured players represent different lines of the team, so it will be much easier to find a quality replacement for Guardiola, unlike Klopp. Will the ex-Barcelona coach take advantage of Dortmund's personnel problems?

Last season, Bayern and Borussia Dortmund met 4 times. In addition to the championship matches, the teams also played in the Champions League final and the German Cup semi-final. Klopp's team has never won. In the Bundesliga, the teams have drawn twice with the same score 1:1. In the German Cup, Bayern won 1-0 at home, reached the final and became the winner of the tournament. And the most intriguing was the meeting of the teams in the Champions League final. Dortmund did their best, but Bayern still proved that they are now the strongest club in Europe – a 2-1 victory. For those failures, Klopp's team took some revenge already this season. Borussia beat Bayern Munich 4-2 in the German Super Cup.

What to bet on?

You can't envy Jurgen Klopp. In Dortmund, Borussia has a number of personnel losses. And, above all, they relate to defense. Four main defenders of the team were out of the game at once. And this means that Klopp will experiment in defense. However, Bavaria is hardly any easier from this. Firstly, Munich also have enough problems with the composition, and secondly, defense is far from the main weapon of Borussia. Dortmund, given the problems in defense, are likely to bet on the attack and score their goal with a high degree of probability. The same goes for Bayern, who simply have to take advantage of Borussia's defensive problems and also score their own goal. We draw our own conclusions.
