Overview
Bayern Munich just suffered a 1-2 defeat at home to Inter Milan in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final. This result made it very difficult for the "Gray Tigers" to come back in the second leg when they had to travel to the opponent's Giuseppe Meazza stadium.
However, before thinking about that match, Bayern Munich still had an important match against Dortmund in round 29 of the Bundesliga. In the context of many key players being lost to injuries, any unfavorable results at the moment could completely cost Bayern Munich their advantage. Bayern are currently only 6 points ahead of Leverkusen in second place.
Of course, coach Vincent Kompany's team is still highly appreciated in this match. Dortmund are currently the weakest team in many years.
In the most recent match, Dortmund suffered a heavy 4-goal goalless defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals. Before that, they also had inconsistent form for a long time despite changing the coaching bench.
Similar to Bayern Munich, Dortmund are also having a headache in defense. Their best central defenders are constantly injured, causing coach Niko Kovac to often use Emre Can. Therefore, facing Bayern Munich's Bundesliga attack that has scored 81 goals this season is a difficult challenge for Dortmund.
Der classsiker has always been the most exciting derby in Germany, despite Bayern Munich often dominating. The Bavarians have won seven of their last 10 meetings, while Dortmund have enjoyed the joy just once. The first leg of this season ended in a 1-1 draw.
Personnel situation
Bayern Munich will not have the services of Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, Manuel Neuer, tarek Buchmann and Hiroki Ito due to injury. Aleksandar Pavlovic's fitness is still a question mark.
On the other side of the front line, the away team is also absent from Nico Schlotterbeck, Niklas Sule, Marcel Sabitzer and Filippo Mane due to injury.
Expected lineup:
Bayern Munich: Urbig, Stanisic, Kim Min-jae, Dier, Laimer, Kimmich, Palhinha, Sane, Muller, Olise, Kane.
Dortmund: Kobel, Bensebaini, Can, Anton, Ryerson, Gross, Gittens, Chukwuemeka, Brandt, Adeyemi, Guirassy.
The match between Bayern Munich and Dortmund takes place at 11:30 p.m. on April 12 (Vietnam time).
