Borussia Dortmund are away to FC Bayern Munich on Saturday (kick-off 18:30 CET). Here are the match facts.

The scenario

  • Both teams were level on points and occupied first and second place respectively ahead of the reverse fixture. But there are now four places and 13 points separating league leaders Bayern Munich and fifth-placed Borussia Dortmund – the biggest gap heading into a fixture between the clubs for more than four years.
  • The two best attacking sides are going head-to-head. Between them, Bayern and Borussia have scored 115 goals. The Bavarians' tally of 67 goals is the second highest in history after 23 rounds of matches. BVB's 48 goals have been scored by 16 players – a league high.

FC Bayern facts
