Borussia Dortmund will host Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup on Tuesday and it promises to be an enthrawling game between the two sides.
Bayern Munich could only muster a draw on their opening Bundesliga matchday on Friday against Borussia Monchengladbach.
The Bavarians will face a Borussia Dortmund team who managed to put five past Eintracht Frankfurt in their opening game.
Both sides are under new head coaches, and a trophy, even if it is just a one-off game, will give their squads more confidence for the season.
Borussia Dortmund vs Bayern Munich Head-to-head
Supercup games between the two sides tend to be even because of the timing of the clashes, and the head-to-head proves that.
Bayern Munich have beaten Borussia Dortmund four times in the Supercup, while Die Schwarzgelben have won it three times.
Dortmund have never lost a home game in the Supercup against Bayern Munich, and that could be a deciding factor on Tuesday.
