Another round of fixtures is firmly behind us, and fans are in for a real treat as matchday 28 has popped up literally in less than 72 hours. Der Klassiker will be the highlight of this round, and we possibly could see the title race pretty much put to bed by the time this round ends.
Match of the week: Dortmund vs Bayern
Without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest match of this week will be Der Klassiker, and due to scheduling, it will fall during the week. This game will likely decide the Bundesliga title, as the gap between the top two is currently at four points. If Dortmund win, it will be narrowed to just one, and that's where things could get very interesting indeed. A draw for the hosts also will give them a life-line, but a defeat will spell impending doom.

Talking points ahead of matchday 28
Can Dortmund get revenge on Bayern to close gap in title race?
This is a must win game for Dortmund. As things stand, die Schwarzgelben are four points behind Bayern and it's win or nothing for Lucien Favre's side. If they lose, they will fall seven points off the title pace, and bar a shocking collapse from Hansi Flick's men, they will stroll on towards yet another Bundseliga title.
Dortmund were humiliated in the reverse fixture earlier this season and currently have the best home record of any side in the season. However, Bayern are unbeaten so far in 2020, and star striker Robert Lewandowski simply can't scoring, which brings us to our next point...
The battle between two strikers: The veteran vs. the young starlet
All eyes will be on Robert Lewandowski and Norwegian starlet Erling Haaland during Tuesday's Klassiker match. Lewandowski has been in imperious form all season, and a two month interruption in live action due to COVID-19 has not interrupted his stride, as he has scored in both of Bayern's matches since the Bundesliga resumed action.
Meanwhile, Haaland will be eager to get on the scoresheet in his first Klassiker. Last time around, he wasn't yet on the books for die Schwarzgelben, and now with the team playing at home, the Norwegian will be hoping to have an huge impact. There may not be any famous Yellow Wall, but the desire and fire in the Dortmund players' bellies won't be any less when they take to the pitch against their bitter rivals on Tuesday.
