But have changed quite a bit since then with Dortmund. The team wearing Yellow and Black have already suffered defeats from their opening nine league games, as they trail the team they visit by a margin of 14 points.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich are on a strike of thirteen undefeated games (10 wins and 3 draws) with their last league defeat coming against the side they face today. The 13 match unbeaten strike is a longest run of its kind in the German league.
The game adds more significance because relationship between two clubs being at the lowest with with the bosses refusing the traditional offer of having a pre-game lunch to avoid each other. Not only that, the Presidents have booked their seats quite a row apart with Dortmund’s president wanting no dialogue with Bayern Munich’s president.
With the rumour about Rues being chased by Bayern still grime in the market and Bayern’s CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge saying this week they "might be potentially interested" in him, the news has just added tension to the fixture. Bayern who have been poaching Dortmund’s players, the relation’s between the two clubs are the lowest possible.
With both Gotze and Robert Lewandowski expected to start for the home side, the away support will be in full voice to boo their ex player whom the just treat as a traitor.
