Can Bavarians will able to make some noise at Home?

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich to host Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena on Sunday. The Bavarians looking forward to continue a record-breaking run of form this season.

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola looks confident this new season because of his side’s blistering form, having broken the record set by themselves back in the 2012-13 term. The German leaders have recorded an unbroken 21-points from seven games.

Guardiola will be happy with the recruitment of Arturo Vidal and Douglas Costa over the summer, but what makes him more happy is the impressive form of Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, who scored 14 goals in all competitions this season, including five-goal haul in just nine minutes against Wolfsburg.

“I am very happy with his last two games,” Guardiola said. “But as a coach you always want more, more, more. It doesn’t mean that he has to score more goals. I hope that he doesn’t think about scoring all of the time.”

Thanks to Lewandowski’s stellar performance, the Bayern have also conceded just three goals in seven games in the league.

Borussia Dortmund

Meanwhile, BVB have enjoyed an excellent start under their new manager Thomas Tuchel, and will be hoping to come back from two consecutive draws in the Bundesliga top flight.

Dortmund’s new coach Thomas Tuchel has enjoyed an impressive start at the Westfalenstadion, after wining five consecutive games in the new Bundesliga season, including a win over Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen.

Tuchel will be hoping that his side can bounce back by wining the crucial away match on Sunday. Despite their last two league draws, Dortmund supporters will be rather happy that the transition from Klopp to Tuchel has been seamless.

BVB have made secured some good signings over the summer by bringing in Julian Weigl, Gonzalo Castro and Park Joo-ho in the key areas.

Bayern’s possible lineup:

Neuer, Alaba, Boateng, Martínez, Lahm, Vidal, Alonso, Alcantara, Costa, Lewandowski, Muller

Dortmund’s possible lineup:

Burki, Schmelzer, Hummels, Sokratis, Ginter, Weigl, Mkhitaryan, Kagawa, Gundogan, Reus, Aubameyang

Head To Head

The two sides last met in the DFB Pokal’s semi-final earlier this year when Dortmund won the game on penalties.

Dortmund currently hold second spot in the Bundesliga top flight, having won five of their seven games this campaign.
