Preview: Borussia Dortmund vs. Bayern Munich

It's another installment of Der Klassiker to kick off the Bundesliga season as Borussia Dortmund lock horns with serial foes Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup this Saturday. Die Schwarzgelben will be eager as per usual for revenge on die Roten, who narrowly beat them to the Bundesliga crown in an entertaining title race last season, while the Bavarian titans will be looking to kick start the upcoming season with another trophy in their cabinet.

It was not too long ago that Dortmund suffered a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Bayern as Niko Kovac's side started their march towards a domestic double, and they will be keen on making amends for that shocking loss in front of their home fans on Saturday evening.

Dortmund have had an excellent pre-season so far. They come into this game having won all five of their summer matches, including a 3-2 victory over Champions League winners Liverpool and recently cruised to two 6-0 and 4-1 wins over Swiss outfits FC Zürich and FC St. Gallen earlier this week.

By contrast, Bayern's pre-season has been more mixed. Kovac's side ended up losing to Tottenham on spot-kicks in the Audi Cup after drawing 2-2 with the Champions League runners-up, which was a disappointing turn of events after pummeling Turkish side Fenerbahce 6-1. Prior to that they had earned deserved victories against Real Madrid (3-1) and AC Milan (1-0) but had lost to Arsenal, meaning that they have lost two of their last five fixtures this summer.
