Munich – On Saturday evening in the top game of the Bundesliga it's that time again: FC Bayern is a guest at Borussia Dortmund in the classic.
After a mixed start for both teams, however, there was no summit meeting.
The unusual starting position: FCB is only third, BVB fourth.
FC Bayern News: Oliver Kahn warns of BVB crackers
Bayern have recently shot themselves out of the crisis.
After four games without a win with the low point of the 0-1 defeat in Augsburg, there have recently been two victories against Leverkusen (4-0) and Pilsen (5-0) - each without conceding a goal.
Has the crisis already been overcome?
CEO Oliver Kahn spoke up on Twitter - and made it clear: The fact that the "form curve continues to go up" should not distract from the fact that "we also have to deliver a top performance against Dortmund".
Before the game against BVB, the 53-year-old also commented on a possible transfer from Jude Bellingham in an interview with
Sport-Bild
: “Of course I think Bellingham is an excellent player.
However, with Kimmich, Goretzka, Sabitzer and Gravenberch we are very well occupied in this position, so we are not concerned at all.”
Back to the BVB cracker: "To be honest," said Leon Goretzka, "there were two opponents who let us do what we wanted." "Others will come again," added the midfield driver.
Just like Dortmund, “where more details matter”.
However, Goretzka promised: "We feel armed, we are really hot and will go full throttle."
Bayern before BVB duel: Thomas Helmer sees the crisis not yet over
Ex-Bayern captain Thomas Helmer, who doesn't see the Bayern crisis finally over yet, takes the same line.
"The players will rate these clear victories correctly, I wouldn't overrate them anyway.
Leverkusen and Pilsen were grateful opponents," explained the
kicker
expert in his column.

Only the hit in Dortmund will show to what extent Bayern have overcome their crisis.
“This comparison with BVB is the benchmark.
However, the reactivated efficiency and two clean sheets will boost Munich's self-confidence," said Helmer.

After the 2:3 in Cologne, BVB was also able to regain self-confidence with the 4:1 in Seville.
In Helmer's opinion, however, Bayern are the slight favorites for the Kracher duel.
"BVB's loss of Erling Haaland hurts much more than Bayern's farewell to Robert Lewandowski.
And the people of Munich like games like this to demonstrate their strength.”

Bayern's captain is accordingly sure of victory, Manuel Neuer names the recipe for victory in front of the Dortmund cracker: an early goal.
"Then we can hardly be stopped." However, it is still uncertain whether Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Müller will be ready for action after their corona infections.
Should Kimmich fail, Leon Goretzka should take over command in the midfield center again.
