There is no doubt that Bayern’s preparation for this important match was not much worse. In addition to being eliminated from the DFB Cup on Wednesday 2-1 in Saarbrücken, FCB also lost center back Matthijs de Ligt. injury. Bayern will have to “take those setbacks and endure them,” coach Thomas Tuchel said in his press conference on Friday. “We were incredibly disappointed,” the 50-year-old continued, but “we don’t know why. We are on a good run in the Bundesliga and we still have a team we still trust. We are going to Dortmund to win, against all odds.
Before the cup elimination, Bayern were on the right path. His total of 23 problems after nine games is the club’s most productive record in seven years. The leader of Bayer, Leverkusen, is within his success with 25 problems. On the winning path, Bayern will have to redouble their efforts even more against Dortmund: “The key will be that we reach the limit, that we are diligent in our game and that we play at our most productive level. from the first minute to the last “Tuchel said.
Let’s recap what Tuchel said in his press conference:
Tuchel on Der Klassiker: “We’re going to Dortmund to win”
Even a possible win would not put Borussia at the top of the table, but Edin Terzic’s side have perhaps been the most consistent team in the Bundesliga in 2023. They are still unbeaten in the league this season and are also leading the way to the top of the season. Of the 23 Bundesliga games in 2023, they lost only one, but that happened against Bayern at the Allianz Arena in April (4-2).
This result is in line with recent developments in the Clasico, where BVB have picked up just one point from their last nine league games. However, their coach is positive about this last game: “We also know that in the game we were very close in the past, especially at home. Dortmund qualified for the DFB Cup this week with a 1-0 win over Hoffenheim, following a 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in the league last weekend. Borussia had already picked up their first win of the season in the Champions League. With a 1-0 win at Newcastle United, the hosts are full of confidence ahead of Bayern’s arrival.

In addition to De Ligt, Bayern will also not be able to count on the suspended Joshua Kimmich. It remains to be seen whether Noussair Mazraoui, who was only able to train separately this week due to illness, or the recently injured Dayot Upamecano, Raphael Guerreiro (both muscular) and Leon Goretzka (broken hand) will have compatibility to feature.
Dortmund has an almost complete squad available for selection. Emre Can had left with a dead leg but he is expected to return. Marius Wolf was injured on Wednesday but Terzic gave him the green pass.
