The first Der Klassiker of the new Bundesliga season arrives this weekend. Bayern Munich are set to host Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena in a clash that could shape the early title race. The reigning champions have enjoyed a flawless start to the campaign.

They’ve won all ten of their matches across all competitions. This has been their best opening to a season since joining the Bundesliga in 1965. Vincent Kompany’s side has been ruthless in front of goal. They’ve netted at least three times in seven of their last eight league outings. It has set a new record with 25 goals in the first six rounds.

Dortmund, however, are no pushovers. Under Niko Kovac, they have shown defensive steel. They’ve conceded only four league goals while keeping four clean sheets in six games. A win on Saturday would move them within touching distance of Bayern and reinforce their credentials as genuine title contenders.
