Tactics: Quick possession turnovers

This is not only a meeting between the sides in first and second place in the Bundesliga table, but also one between the two teams that win possession back the quickest after losing it. Bayern need 12 seconds to do so on average, while Borussia require 13 seconds. This counter-pressing has resulted in 13 Bayern and eight Dortmund goals to date.

Kits: Red vs. Black & Yellow

Borussia Dortmund will line up in their usual colours: yellow shirts, black shorts and yellow socks. The home side will take to the field all in red.
