Next week Bayern Munich will arrive at Dortmund's Signal Idona Park for a fiery classic between the two leads.
Tonight in the 13th round of the Bundesliga (Saturday) they both won, which means the Bavarians will come away with a point advantage in the table.
Bayern recovered from the loss in the previous round to Augsburg, and a goal by Leroy Sane in the 71st minute set them up 0-1 over Arminia Bielefeld.
