Interesting statement by Heynckes: Will Bayern win the first title at Allianz Arena

Dortmund is waiting for tomorrow

April is reserved for the most exciting duels of the season, and as far as Bayern Munich is concerned, before going on to compete in the Champions League, they will count the strengths of formerly rival Borussia Dortmund. "This match marks the start of the decisive phase, we now have a constant three-day rhythm, so it would be good to start with victory," said coach Jupp Heynckes.

On the one hand, players are always hard to get into the rhythm of rhythm after an international break, but on the other hand, the matches against Borussia were never easier. "I know from the experience that they are highly motivated in Borussia and they usually play very well when they come to Munich," warns Heynckes. Another problem after the international break is the injury to Artur Vidal. Apart from Chilean, Manuel Neuer, Kingsley Coman and Juan Bernat will miss the match.

The starting lineup will be affected by the load that Heynckes players have had in the past few days. However, an experienced specialist will not retire to Sevilla, because if Schalke fails to win at Freiburg on Saturday, and Bayern defeated Dortmund they would secure the title of the champion. It would be the first time Bayern wins the title at the Allianz Arena.

Dortmund aims to prevent celebrations.

"I do not plan Bayern to celebrate the title of a champion against us," said Peter Stöger on Thursday. "Bayern's aspiration is to be the best team - they've achieved it, our aspiration is to be the second best team, but we have yet to achieve," he added is the head coach. The Austrian will have to be away without Marko Reus (problems with aduktoria) and Ömera Toprak (muscle problems). "Both of them did not train with the team. I doubt they will be ready enough for Saturday," said Stöger.
