The Bayern Munich football team is well on its way to securing its 35th Meistertitel. Despite their dominance, Borussia Dortmund has proven to be a tough opponent for the Bavarians, recently managing to contain their offensive power. The upcoming match is expected to be an intriguing battle between two top teams.
Bayern’s Home Dominance and Defending Streak
Bayern has established a formidable record at home. They have not conceded a goal at the Allianz Arena for an impressive 466 minutes. This defensive prowess is crucial as they prepare for Dortmund, the last team to keep Bayern from scoring in their own stadium.

Key Players for the Upcoming Match
Nico Schlotterbeck and Mats Hummels will play a crucial role in defending against Bayern’s star striker, Harry Kane.
