Dortmund vs Bayern: Team news and key stats

The scoring return of Erling Haaland, albeit off the bench, in Wolfsburg’s win is a welcome sign for the hosts.

However, Jude Bellingham and Giovanni Reyna have doubts despite the latter’s participation in training.

Bayern will miss players like Joshua Kimmich and Marcel Sabitzer, with Tanguy Nianzou doubtful.

All eyes will be on Robert Lewandowski’s new return to his former home.

It could turn into a battle for a starting spot between Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry.

Key stats:

• Haaland has scored a goal every 56 minutes in the Bundesliga this season. He has scored five times in as many encounters with Bayern in all competitions.
• Marco Reus has scored or assisted in nine of his 12 Bundesliga appearances in 2020/21 and in eight of his last nine.
• The Dortmund captaincy was the last time BVB defeated Bayern in the Bundesliga (3-2 on matchday 11 of the 2018/19 season).
• Bayern have since won five Bundesliga Klassikers in a row, losing just two of their last 10. In total, with 51 Bundesliga wins, they lead to BVBs 26.
• Lewandowski is the top scorer of the match with 25 goals. Twenty of these have fallen during 14 league matches with former club Dortmund, including 16 in his last 10.
• Nagelsmann won just two of 13 games against Dortmund as head coach, drawing four and losing seven.
