Bayern vs Borussia Dortmund preview

Fresh from their Champions League victory over Inter, Bayern prepare to host Bundesliga leaders and bitter rivals Borussia Dortmund.

The Bavarians currently sit 13 points adrift of Dortmund, but the team have finally reached top form, as witnessed by six wins in last seven games.

It remains to be seen how much energy Bayern players will have left following the difficult game at Giuseppe Meazza, but the good thing is that Ivica Olic remains the only unavailable player at the moment.

Borussia Dortmund returned to winning ways last weekend as they beat St Pauli at home, and they are aware every result but a defeat would be a giant step towards the league title.

With Jurgen Klopp’s side all but wrapped up the Bundesliga title, the odds of 1.15 (3/20) offered by Betfair on Borussia to win the league title still look tempting.

Borussia will give a late fitness test to keeper Roman Weidenfeller and if he fails it, Australian keeper Mitchell Langerak will start between the sticks.

Neven Subotic returns to the side after suspension, but Shinji Kagawa, Mohamed Zidan, Sebastian Kehl and Patrick Owomoyela remain sidelined.
